Ten Tribes

Lake Powell

Read about the Ten Tribes’ accomplishments during 2024 in the CRWUA Annual Report.

Here’s an excerpt:

Collectively, the Ten Tribes hold rights to more than 20% of the Colorado River’s current estimated flow, and tribal water, therefore, plays an important role in supply and demand. The Ten Tribes must be included in a meaningful way in shaping river policy going forward. Part of this policy must be an acknowledgment of the extent of tribal water rights, a recognition of tribes’ rights to use that water, and a commitment to assist tribes in benefitting from those water rights.
