Nevada Sues Over Colorado River Water Cuts | Las Vegas News

Nevada is suing the federal government over the Colorado River’s future, arguing that the new 10-year plan unfairly targets Lower Basin states while ignoring Upper Basin states like Utah — even as Nevada faces potential 70% water cuts. Governor claims conservation efforts alone aren’t enough without Upper Basin cooperation, but Utah’s leader dismisses litigation as counterproductive and vows to defend water rights, even budgeting millions for legal fights. The federal plan’s selective approach has sparked outrage in Nevada, which now may be joined by other Lower Basin states — turning this into a high-stakes court battle with real consequences for Las Vegas and beyond.
