water useAccurately estimating consumptive water use in the Colorado River Basin (CRB) is important for assessing and managing limited water resources in the basin. Increasing water demand from various sectors may threaten long-term sustainability of the water supply in the arid southwestern United ...
The role of groundwater in the Basin The Law of the River dictates surface water use; the system is over-allocated. The Colorado River is managed and operated under what is referred to as the "Law of the River" - a series of compacts, federal laws, court decisions and decrees, contracts...
