Trump Administration Orders Colorado River Water Cuts

The Trump Administration released a two-year operating plan for the Colorado River designed to address the ongoing water crisis in the lower basin. The plan mandates that Arizona, California, and Nevada reduce their water usage to prevent further depletion of the river's resources.

These requirements come as the lower basin prepares for significant federal water cuts. The administration's plan establishes the operational framework for the next two years to manage the distribution and conservation of water across the three affected states.
