Colorado River Basin Water Supply and Demand Study
Moving Forward on Colorado River Basin
Water Supply and Demand Challenges
In 2012, the Bureau of Reclamation, in partnership with the seven Colorado River Basin States, published the most comprehensive study of future supplies and demands on the Colorado River ever undertaken. The Colorado River Basin Water Supply and Demand Study confirmed what most experts knew: there are likely to be significant shortfalls between projected water supplies and demands in the Colorado River Basin in coming decades.
On Tuesday, May 28, 2013, Department of Interior Assistant Secretary for Water and Science Anne Castle and Bureau of Reclamation Commissioner Michael L. Connor convened key stakeholders representing basin states, Native American Tribes, and the conservation community to discuss the future of the Colorado River Basin. The Moving Forward event in San Diego, Calif. identified next steps to address actions identified in the Study, issued in December of 2012.
