As extreme drought strains water supplies across the seven Colorado River Basin states, a coalition of conservation groups has released a report outlining long-term water resilience strategies in the basin.
State, federal and tribal investments should prepare the basin for watershed conditions that climate scientists are predicting, not “the ones we might wish for,” said Kevin Moran, senior director of the Colorado River program at the Environmental Defense Fund, which helped commission the report.
