Colorado River at Breaking Point | Tucson News

from Tucson News Today | 2 Min Now | The Daily News Now!

Seven states and the federal government are locked in a tense standoff over water cuts, especially impacting Arizona, California, and Nevada. Tourism around Lake Powell is collapsing as marinas relocate and boat ramps shut down. With projections showing levels will keep falling, there’s no easy fix—and time is running out to find a sustainable solution.
