High Court backs Arizona in Colorado River dispute
The Supreme Court, with three partial dissents, approves parts of a special master's Arizona favored plan in the 40 year Colorado River water fight. It allows Sept 16 for recommended decrees to carry out the court’s 52 page opinion or the court will issue its own decree next term. The decision confirms California 4.4 million acre feet annually, Arizona 2.8 million, and Nevada .3 million, but rejects the master's proposed pro rata shortage formula for low flows and emphasizes secretary of interior discretion. Justice Earl Warren wrote the opinion.
