The Urban Landscape Irrigation Industry weighs in on the chaos on the Colorado River.

Steve Whitesell, Executive Editor of the Healthy Green Spaces Coalition, said: "Phoenix, Tucson, Denver, Los Angeles, they have all cut total water use even as their populations grew.

MAJOR NISP UPDATE -- SIX NISP PARTICIPANTS DROP OUT AS COST ESCALATES OVER 50% PER ACRE FOOT. NISP WILL NOW ONLY BE 1/2 SIZED, APPARENTLY. The article is paywalled. We copy/paste a passage below.
Only nine participants, including Erie, signed on for the project’s next phase after Fort Collins-Loveland, the Morgan district, Firestone, Evans, Severance and Eaton withdrew. That reduces NISP from what was originally planned as “roughly a 40,000 acre-foot project” down to “a little shy of 20,000 acre-feet per year of firm annual yield,” Brad Wind, Northern Water’s general manager, told the Erie Town Council in May.
