Federal government announces new push to take less water from shrinking Colorado River

The federal government is looking to take a real leadership role in addressing the #Colorado River crisis, and #California will finally have to make some very difficult decisions. Southern California relies on two over-stressed systems for its domestic and ag water: the Colorado River and the State Water Project. The Colorado River has been in #drought for 20-plus years, and the State Water Project has been delivering 5-15% of allocations. Hopefully the feds get a handle on this situation soon, rather than later.

Here is a great article by the LA Times on a new push to take less water from the Colorado River.
