Arizona to lose 21% of its Colorado River water in 2023 abc15
It is the second year in a row that deep cuts will be implemented to shore up the Colorado River system as prescribed in the 2019 Drought Contingency Plan which was agreed to by the seven states and Mexico that rely on the water.
With junior priority, Arizona is set to lose the most — 592,000 acre-feet, or 21%, of its annual allotment in this round of cuts. The loss nearly wipes out the allotment for agricultural users in Pinal County and is expected to impact some municipal users.Nevada will lose 25,000 acre-feet and Mexico will lose 104,000 acre-feet. California will not be required to lose any water in this tier.
