Arizona and Nevada residents won’t face bans on watering their lawns or washing their cars despite more Colorado River water shortages.
WASHINGTON—
And for years, the seven states that receive the river’s water have diverted more water from it than what was replenished by nature.Lake Mead supplies water to millions of people in Arizona, California, Nevada and Mexico. Lake Mead and Lake Powell—the two largest Colorado River reservoirs—are about a quarter full, threatening water supplies and the generation of hydroelectric power that provides electricity to millions of people.
Under a 2019 drought contingency plan, Arizona, Nevada, California and Mexico agreed to give up shares of their water to maintain water levels at Lake Mead. This year’s cuts are part of that plan—and as a result, state officials knew they were coming.Arizona was hardest hit, again, and will receive 79 percent of its total share next year. But that’s only 3 percent less than what it got this year, after federal officials slashed its supply.
