In order to safeguard the Colorado River and its main cabinets from excessive water consumption, drought, and climate change, the US government issued a warning on Friday that it would decrease water supplies in the states of California, Arizona, and Nevada.
According to the US Reclamation Office, there are three conceivable courses of action: one involves imposing discounts, another involves letting Western states create a unified discount scheme, and the third—and least likely—is to do nothing at all.
The recommended government technique may continue electrical energy production in the two biggest tanks in the nation in addition to safeguarding the drinking water supply.
The office, part of the Ministry of Interior, had previously set a final date in mid -August for seven western states to negotiate its discounts or perhaps facing compulsory discounts.
A 100-year-old deal that divided Colorado River water among the seven states came under growing pressure as a result of the greatest drought in 1200 years, which was made worse by climate change.
America issues a warning to the western states that it may reduce their water supplies.
