The Interior Department on Monday said it would review a plan submitted by Arizona, California and Nevada to conserve 3 million acre-feet of Colorado River water over the next three years.
The plan is the states’ answer to a federal call for major reductions in use to keep water stored in Lake Mead and Lake Powell from declining to disastrous levels.
Great Basin Water Network’s Kyle Roerink spoke with AZCentral about what these cuts really mean for the river.
