Phoenix Fights Unfair River Cuts | Tucson News

Phoenix braces for a water crisis as it fights proposed cuts to its Colorado River supply, arguing that Arizona should not shoulder the brunt of drought-driven reductions while Upper Basin states face lighter burdens. Mayor Kate Gallego has mobilized legal teams to challenge the federal plan and push for equitable solutions, emphasizing that Phoenix residents didn’t cause the drought. With costly alternatives like desalination on the table and conservation efforts already in place, the city is also exploring new development to offset rising costs — all while calling for unified action across basin states and federal agencies to ensure a fair, sustainable future.
