The Colorado River, vital for 40 million people, faces ongoing water cuts, highlighting the enduring water crisis exacerbated by overuse and climate change.
Arizona will lose 18% of its allocation and Mexico 5% in the upcoming year, reflecting the federal government’s ongoing strategy to manage shrinking water supplies.
The cuts continue the 'Tier 1' categorization that began in 2022, marking a persistent crisis for the Colorado River, affecting agriculture and regional water supplies.
Despite heavy rain and water-saving measures providing a short-term boost, both Lake Mead and Lake Powell remain at only 37% capacity, underscoring the long-term challenges ahead.
