Скачать или смотреть Fire & Water: Big Moves Across the Colorado River Basin (Western Water's Weekly Report, 4/7/2025)

Fire and water collide this week as we break down big moves across the Colorado River Basin! From wildfire preparedness kicking into high gear in Arizona and New Mexico to Nevada’s innovative water rights retirement bills, there's a lot happening. Plus, we explore drought conditions, water reuse trends, and a dramatic legal halt on Colorado’s Gross Reservoir expansion.

The Colorado River Basin is facing tough challenges, but states are stepping up with bold plans for sustainability and collaboration. Whether it’s Utah joining the Great Plains Fire Compact or New Mexico’s transformative water bills, the region is buzzing with action. Did you know only 26% of treated municipal wastewater is reused across the basin? Nevada leads at 85%, while Utah lags at less than 1%. We dive into these numbers and what they mean for the future of water in the West.
