Colorado River

Arizona water officials unveiled a plan to cut Colorado River water use by 760,000 acre-feet annually starting in 2027, per federal rules.

The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation announced 20–25% Colorado River water cuts for Arizona, California, and Nevada, raising water costs over two years.

Arizona, California, and Nevada agreed to cut over 3.2 million acre-feet of Colorado River water to stabilize reservoirs through 2028.
