Nevada Sues Over River Water Cuts | Las Vegas News

Nevada is suing the federal government over proposed cuts to its Colorado River water supply, arguing that a plan allowing up to 71% reduction—far beyond its actual usage—is unlawful and unfairly targets Nevada while exempting upper basin states. The state seeks an injunction to halt cuts that could devastate its environment, economy, and public safety, as Lake Mead’s levels threaten to drop below 1,000 feet by summer 2028. With no interstate agreement in place and legal battles historically dragging on for years, Nevada is preparing to defend its water rights, even if it means going to court—with federal agencies remaining silent on the lawsuit.
