Summary
The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation proposes a ten-year Colorado River water-sharing plan, with two-year reviews for adjustments. Lower Basin states present a conservation proposal for the first two years. Arizona residents are divided on the shorter timeline, which could secure water flow but lacks long-term certainty. Federal models test a worst-case scenario of significant cuts to Arizonas water supply. Tensions rise with Upper Basin states over cuts, and Arizona prepares to sue in the Supreme Court. The Lower Basin offer is evaluated for benefits and risks, seen as a flexible adaptation until a full deal is reached. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
