Colorado River deal: What does it mean for California? – CalMatters 5/22/23
After almost a year of intense negotiations, California, Nevada, and Arizona reached a historic agreement on May 22nd to use less water from the over drafted Colorado River over the next three years.
The states agreed to give up 3 million acre-feet of river water through 2026 — about 13% of the amount they receive. In exchange, farmers and other water users are expected to receive compensation from the federal government. An official with the Department of the Interior said the payments could total $1.2 billion and would come from the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act.

Because paying farmers to not grow reduces inflation in the economy? Yeah ok…..

Colorado River water supplies California Riverside, San Bernardino and San Diego counties via the All American canal.
The Feather River MWD project and Owens Valley aqueduct/canal supplies Los Angles county and Orange and parts of San Bernardino and Riverside counties in SoCal.
Any water supply reduction will be unpopular and expensive.
The sooner we wake up and build desalination and nuclear power plants the better off we will be.

I agree about the Desal plants, but water cooled nuclear power is a mistake. There are safer nuclear alternatives.WRB wrote: ↑Wed May 31, 2023 10:58 am Colorado River water supplies California Riverside, San Bernardino and San Diego counties via the All American canal.

A few years back Santa Barbara started a desalinization plant but stopped when the area received some rain. Idiots.WRB wrote: ↑Wed May 31, 2023 10:58 am Colorado River water supplies California Riverside, San Bernardino and San Diego counties via the All American canal.
