Colorado River states fail to reach water management deal by deadline
Seven Colorado River Basin states missed a federal deadline for creating a collective agreement to manage the waterway's rapidly shrinking supply.
The current operating guidelines expire at the end of 2026, and the Bureau of Reclamation set a target date of Feb. 14 to reach a new consensus-based agreement.
Governors for the Lower Basin states -- Joe Lombardo of Nevada, Gavin Newsom of California and Katie Hobbs of Arizona -- issued a statement Feb. 13 saying there will not be a resolution in time for that deadline, but they will continue negotiations.
