Colorado River seen as depleting regional water resource
LAS VEGAS AP The federal government will not tap the Missouri River to slake the Southwest drought thirst. Instead, rising demand and shrinking supply drive Western water managers to pursue options as the Colorado River, supplying about 40 million people, may not meet future needs over five decades. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar called for a three year study, dismissing impractical ideas like piping water from the heartland or towing Arctic icebergs, urging conservation and supply augmentation. The study notes the river’s flow has fallen from 15 to about 12 million acre feet annually due to drought, with projections showing a potential deficit of up to 32 million acre feet by 2060.
