California, Arizona y Nevada recortarían sus asignaciones en aproximadamente un 20% cuando baje el nivel de los embalses

We’re a big state with big challenges. Each morning we explain the top issues and how Californians are trying to solve them.One weekly email, all the Golden State newsGet the news that matters to all Californians. Start every week informed.Los niveles de agua en el lago Mead, un importante embalse del río Colorado que se muestra aquí el 6 de junio de 2023, fueron extremadamente bajos el año pasado. California ha acordado recortar sus asignaciones fluviales.

El Distrito Metropolitano de Agua, que suministra agua a 19 millones de habitantes del sur de California, es otro gran usuario, que normalmente recibe alrededor de 1 millón de acres-cuadrados cada año, según Bill Hasencamp, administrador de recursos del río Colorado del distrito. . John Entsminger, director general de la Autoridad del Agua del Sur de Nevada, dijo hoy en una sesión informativa que el objetivo es evitar sospechas de que los estados manipulen el sistema. Extraer agua del lago Mead o retenerla en embalses de la cuenca superior podría provocar cambios masivos en las liberaciones de agua.

“Lo ideal sería que los siete estados pudieran llegar a un grado de compromiso como lo han hecho los tres estados de la Cuenca Inferior. Y esperamos que eso ocurra.

“Esos son escenarios bastante draconianos los que sugieren los estados de la Cuenca Alta, lo que significaría una devastación real para el sur de California y se extendería por el resto del estado”, dijo Hamby.
