Nevada has taken the fight over the Colorado River to federal court. On August 24, Nevada, the Colorado River Commission of Nevada and the Southern Nevada Water Authority filed a lawsuit challenging the federal government's new operating plan for Lake Powell and Lake Mead. Nevada argues that under a 3.6-million-acre-foot Lower Basin shortage, the state could lose 213,556 acre-feet — roughly 71% of its 300,000-acre-foot annual Colorado River allocation. That's an extraordinary number for a region where Colorado River water supplies roughly 90% of the Las Vegas Valley. In Part 1 of this weekend's Western Water Highlights, we break down what Nevada actually alleges in its complaint — and why the case reaches far beyond Nevada. We look at the Lower Basin versus Upper Basin dispute, the possibility of a future compact call, problems associated with releases from Glen Canyon Dam at very low Lake Powell elevations, evaporation losses, and Nevada's argument that federal officials failed to adequately consider the economic consequences of severe reductions. We also look at Nevada's conservation record: Colorado River use fell from 325,000 acre-feet in 2002 to 198,570 acre-feet in 2025, according to the complaint, even as the population served grew by 875,000. And then there's the larger question: Can litigation solve a river problem when there simply isn't enough physical water to satisfy all of the demands on paper? Nevada is the first Basin state to sue over the new federal decision. Arizona has left the possibility of litigation open. After years of negotiations among the seven Colorado River Basin states, part of the battle over the river's future has now moved into the courtroom. Western Water Highlights brings you plain-spoken news from the Colorado River Basin — clearly, accurately and without the hype.
