Tuesday Top of the Scroll: This new proposal for Colorado River sharing prioritizes the environment
A coalition of environmental groups is proposing a new set of rules for managing the Colorado River after 2026, when the current guidelines expire. … The “Cooperative Conservation Alternative,” as dubbed by the environmental proposal’s authors, offers a series of ideas on how to make sure decisions about the water supply for people and businesses don’t leave the environment behind. The first idea outlined in the proposal is the implementation of a new way of measuring how much water is stored in reservoirs along the Colorado River, with water releases adjusted accordingly.
