Right now, we have a rare chance to secure the future of the Colorado River.
This year, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and the seven states that share the river are renegotiating the rules that determine how water is shared and conserved. These decisions will shape the West for generations.
The survival of the Colorado River depends on our ability to implement equitable and forward-thinking strategies to use less water and keep the river healthy and flowing – now and for the future.
WRA is fighting for stronger conservation, a meaningful voice for Tribes, and policies that keep water flowing for people, farms, and ecosystems – but time is running out. The Colorado River is changing faster than our policies, and it’s all hands-on deck.
