This winter relieves *some* pressure on our water supply—but we would need years of big winters to restore water levels. The reality is we need to prepare for a drier future, and make plans to share the shortages #CORiver #birdsneedwater abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/…

The river's end:
In Mexico, where the shrinking Colorado River no longer flows to the sea, some are calling for a "water revolution."

The massive dams on the #ColoradoRiver were supposed to protect us. But today, the water stored behind them is so diminished that govt has warned of system collapse. We all have to use less water. audubon.org/news/how-save-co…

We need to continue reforming Colorado River management—because while winter storms are inherently good for water supplies, there is no guarantee winters will be long, sustained, or consistent. @JnPitt #BirdsNeedWater audubon.org/news/well-west-g…

If states use the 100-year-old #ColoradoRiver Compact and other venerable laws to argue that management improving outcomes for tribes and environment is not possible, they will be proving the legal framework needs reform #birdsneedwater

Immediate water conservation is needed to prevent near-term crisis on the Colorado River, but the conditions driving the crisis will continue—showing the need for structural changes in river management. All stakeholders need to be included. #BirdsNeedWater audubon.org/news/how-negotia…

Today is the last day of 2022 flows in the #CORiver Delta supporting communities, birds, and other wildlife. This wouldn't be possible w/o significant collaboration b/w the U.S. and Mexico @usbr @conagua_mx @usibwc @cilamexico #birdsneedwater audubon.org/news/water-color…

About 40 million people in the Western United States depend on water from the Colorado River, and the entire nation benefits from food farmed with its waters.

As we face a hotter, drier climate, short-term reductions in water use are non-negotiable—carrying on as usual risks collapse of the #CORiver's reservoirs. Durable investments are also needed to help the wildlife that depend on it. @jnpitt #BirdsNeedWater audubon.org/news/feds-predic…

"The cuts are significant, but I think even more significant is the rapidity with which the reservoirs on the Colorado River are declining. And we have clear indications that these cuts won't be enough." @JnPitt @audubonsociety pbs.org/newshour/show/federa…

The river’s framework may be no longer functioning today for those who have water rights, but for those stakeholders and interests who never were included, starting with the compact, it has never worked
