New: California water agencies have offered to cut back the amount of water they import from the Colorado River starting in 2023.
Today’s offer doesn’t constitute a deal with the other basin states. But it’s the first offer the California water agencies have publicly announced since U.S. Bureau of Reclamation Commissioner Camille Calimlim Touton issued a warning to the states: Come up with a plan to conserve between 2 and 4 million acre-feet in 2023 within 60 days or face federally mandated cuts.
Whether California’s offer will be enough to satisfy the other states remains to be seen. John Entsminger, general manager of the Southern Nevada Water Authority, said in August thatAnd U.S. Rep. Greg Stanton, a Democrat from Phoenix,“California has ignored this urgent call and failed to offer any significant contributions to protect the system to date.”
