Read about Arizona’s accomplishments in 2024 in the CRWUA Annual Report.
Here’s an excerpt:
As has been true for many years, Arizona’s most urgent duty in 2024 has been to help stabilize the Colorado River system and to prepare the way for the Post-2026 Operating Guidelines. In partnership with the Lower Basin states of California and Nevada, Arizona committed to conserving an additional 3 million acre-feet in the system by the end of 2026, representing a substantial commitment to the stability of the river system.
Through the interim period, Arizona has executed conservation agreements totaling 980,578 acre-feet, not including mandatory reductions in use—512,000 acre-feet in 2024 for the Tier 1 shortage reduction.
