A new UCLA–NRDC report shows massive pricing disparities in who pays what for water from the #ColoradoRiverBasin.

Some California urban water agencies shell out over $2,500 per acre-foot of surface water, while some irrigation districts pay $0—for the exact same water. ucla.in/4pC6ODH @nrdc.org

#TBT: In 2021, LightHawk and American Rivers flew the Yampa—for a film telling the story of one of the last free-flowing rivers in the Colorado Basin.

Today, it’s still at the heart of the fight for resilient rivers in the West.

Lake Powell continues to drop as Colorado River experiences ‘unprecedented drought’ The Colorado River is in an "unprecedented drought," putting pressure on state leaders and limiting recreation access for vacationers this summer.

#Water levels continue to drop as “unprecedented drought” plagues the #ColoradoRiverBasin, according to the Bureau of Reclamation. The agency’s latest 24-month study ... shows #LakePowell will most likely start next year 33 feet lower than it did this year."

Arizona’s Declining Groundwater Decades of satellite observations show that the aquifers in the southern part of the state are ailing.

Choice of crops growing in La Paz, Maricopa, Pinal, and Cochise counties, AZ--as well as wasteful irrigation techques used--are partially to blame.

‘We stand on the brink of system failure’: Feds up pressure for states to reach deal on the future of the Colorado River The Colorado River’s four Upper Basin state commissioners further embraced the idea of a “divorce” with their Lower Basin neighbors.

“We stand on the brink of system failure.”

As negotiations stall, the Interior Department is pushing #ColoradoRiverBasin states to reach a new water sharing deal before November or face a federally imposed plan.

Dust Impacts on Colorado River Basin Snowpack New University of Utah research has shown that the darkening of snow from dust is impacting snowmelt rates across the Colorado Basin, severely affecting the West's water supply. Analysis of 23 years…

Satellite data shows that dust changes the albedo of snow, making it melt faster and impacting runoff rates across the Colorado River Basin. ☀️ In dusty years, snowmelt can speed up by 17 days!
