As of January 1, 2020, the Lower Colorado River Basin entered a Tier Zero shortage at Lake Mead. Thanks to the negotiated agreements of the Drought Contingency Plan, Arizona will receive less Colorado River water this year, marking the first time a mandatory reduction has been imposed.
With these water reductions officially underway, Audubon is looking ahead to what is next, with our focus on prioritizing water security for all of us in Arizona, including our birds and wildlife. We have identified three water policy priorities as we enter the 2020 Legislative Session—read about them here.
