Experts Eye Colorado River Use Amid Diminishing Flows
Department official Arleigh West told the Colorado River Water Users Association in Las Vegas that if flows shrink further a full restoration is unlikely. He described two phases of Interior management, noted past dam construction, and warned most river projects would need decades to show results. Plans include dredging near Parker and Yuma to improve fishing and recreation with costs totaling several million dollars. West emphasized the river’s vulnerability and that once trimmed, flows cannot be fully restored.
