If Colorado, Wyoming, Utah and New Mexico voluntarily conserve Colorado River water, should they get to keep credit for the water they save? That's the question leading this week's Western Water Highlights. The Upper Colorado River Commission is working with the Bureau of Reclamation on a proposed $100 million conservation program — but the Upper Basin states also want rules for measuring, crediting and protecting conserved water once it reaches federal reservoirs. The issue comes as Lake Powell remains at just 22% of live storage capacity and drought-response releases from Flaming Gorge could reach as much as 1 million acre-feet by April 2027. We break down what an “operationally neutral pool” could mean using a simple example: if Wyoming voluntarily conserves 10,000 acre-feet, how could that water be credited and protected after it enters the Colorado River system? We also look at a real-world example of conserved Colorado River water retaining value. The Colorado River Indian Tribes and Central Arizona Water Conservation District have reached an agreement involving 9,009 acre-feet remaining in Lake Mead from earlier Tribal conservation efforts. Also in this week's report: Peoria's $104 million investment in long-term water-storage credits; a Colorado River Basin business coalition seeking at least $2 billion in federal water funding; new research examining an unexpected greenhouse-gas benefit from irrigated agriculture; the Tenth Circuit's decision involving the expanded Gross Reservoir; the aftermath of Pueblo's 4.2-million-gallon wastewater spill; California's effort to address nitrate contamination beneath dairies; a $251 million federal water-reuse loan; and the latest drought conditions across the Colorado River Basin. Western Water Highlights brings you plain-spoken news from across the Colorado River Basin — clearly, accurately and without the hype.
