Arizona farmers raised the bar on themselves (and the water conservation debate)

Arizona farmers raised the bar on themselves (and the water conservation debate) Joanna Allhands, Arizona Republic © Photo: Jeff Gibbs Runoff water captured in a storage pond is pumped back in to reuse on fields in the Buckeye Valley. After a blowup with regulators in the fall, the agricultural community could have chosen to dig in its heels on irrigation efficiency. But after some tough internal talks, it decided to raise the bar on itself. This is hugely important – and not just because groundwater is finite and agriculture uses more of it in the state’s Active Management Areas than other sectors combined.

Colorado River shortage looms amid scant snow and shrinking flows

The water level of Lake Mead, the country’s largest reservoir, has dropped more than 130 feet since the beginning of 2000, when the lake’s surface lapped at the spillway gates on Hoover Dam. Twenty-one years later, with the Colorado River consistently yielding less water as the climate has grown warmer and drier, the reservoir near Las Vegas sits at just 39% of capacity. And it’s approaching the threshold of a shortage for the first time since it was filled in the 1930s. The latest projections from the federal government show the reservoir will soon fall 7 more feet to cross the trigger point for a shortage in 2022, forcing the largest mandatory water cutbacks yet in Arizona, Nevada and Mexico.

Colorado River Lower Basin States Face Tier 1 Shortage and Maybe More | Snell & Wilmer

, published this week, as expected, signals a significant likelihood of reduced water deliveries in the Lower Basin of the Colorado River to Arizona, California, and Nevada. Not only does it suggest a high likelihood of Tier 1 reductions for 2022 and 2023, but it also suggests that the Lower Basin is at higher risk of confronting Tier 2 conditions. As I have discussed previously, The operational tiers are a product of the Bureau of Reclamation’s December 2007 Record of Decision on Colorado River Interim Guidelines for Lower Basin Shortages and the Coordinated Operations of Lake Powell and Lake Mead (“Interim Guidelines”), which prescribes cuts of water deliveries to some of the states in the Colorado River Basin when the water at Glen Canyon Dam (Lake Powell) and Hoover Dam (Lake Mead) reach certain levels, or
