Governors warn action needed for river water
The 1974 Western Governors Conference closed with a call for immediate federal or multi state action to assure water in the upper Colorado River basin for energy development and consumption. Interior undersecretary Jack Horton warned of a likely shortfall by 1992 and urged weather modification, water-rights settlement, or reallocations as possible steps. He said the status report was not a policy document and that states must weigh in before any policy is set.
