TGIF! Weekly Water News Summary 21 - 27 October 2023

An abbreviated version this week.

Want to give a shout-out to Phil Isenberg who died on 26 October 2023 at age 84. Read about him here. I did not know him very well but met him when I was on the Bay-Delta Committee of the NRC. Phil was a mover and shaker, former mayor of Sacramento, California assemblyman. I enjoyed my few chats with him. California will miss him.

Thanks to Dr. Mark Lubell for bringing this to my attention.

Enjoy!

Links will not appear in more than two categories (excluding the very first category). I have also added two more 'Daily Water Newsletters' to increase coverage. These are the Midcontinent US Water News Daily (#MCUSwater) and the Southeast US Water News Daily (#SEUSwater). The former samples news media within 500 miles of Kansas City, KS and the latter within Knoxville, TN). With the other seven dailies this affords pretty good daily coverage for the USA.

The Colorado River Basin (Figure 1) covers more than 246,000 square miles in seven U.S. states and Mexico. Basin waters are managed and governed by multiple laws, court decisions, and other documents known collectively as the Law of the River. The Colorado River Compact of 1922 established a framework to apportion water supplies between the river’s Upper and Lower Basins (divided at Lee Ferry, AZ). Each basin was allocated 7.5 million acre-feet (MAF) annually under the compact; an additional 1.5 MAF in annual flows was made available to Mexico under a 1944 treaty. The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) and the Department of the Interior (DOI) play a prominent role in basin water management due to the many federally authorized projects in the basin. This Insight discusses the status of the basin’s hydrology, as well as efforts to address its water supply issues.

When federal and state governments originally approved the Colorado River Compact, it was assumed that river flows would average 16.4 MAF per year. Actual annual flows from 1906 to 2023 were approximately 14.6 MAF, and these flows have averaged significantly less (12.4 MAF per year) since the basin’s drought began in 2000. Several studies have projected lower annual runoff volumes in the future compared with the historical baseline.

The structural deficit between basin water supplies and demand has depleted storage in the basin’s two largest reservoirs—Lake Powell in the Upper Basin and Lake Mead in the Lower Basin—and threatens municipal and agricultural water supplies for millions in the Southwest. Reclamation makes operational decisions for basin reservoirs in monthly 24-month studies, which project operational conditions for upcoming years (Figure 2, Figure 3).

Mitigating Drought in the Colorado River Basin
Previous efforts to improve the basin’s water supply outlook included agreements in 2003, 2007, and 2019 (approved by Congress in P.L. 116-14). These agreements, among other things, reduced Lower Basin deliveries based on operational “tiers” for Lake Mead storage, authorized additional water conservation efforts, and implemented a framework to coordinate Upper Basin operations to prevent losing hydropower generation at Glen Canyon Dam.

Despite these efforts, storage levels have continued to fall, and since 2020 Reclamation has annually curtailed 6.8% to 21.1% of deliveries for Arizona and 2.6% to 8.3% of deliveries for Nevada, depending on hydrologic conditions (Table 1). In the Upper Basin, falling levels at Lake Powell led to operational changes in 2021 and 2022. Storage at both lakes rebounded in 2023, but widespread concerns about long-term water supplies remain.

At a June 14, 2022, congressional hearing, Reclamation announced that states needed to conserve an additional 2-4 MAF in 2023 and 2024, and that the Secretary of the Interior was prepared to act unilaterally if these targets were not met. After no new state commitments were announced, in October 2022 Reclamation noticed its intent to study, via an environmental impact statement (EIS), revised “near-term” operations through 2026. In early 2023, California and the six other basin states each responded to this action with their own proposals.

On April 11, 2023, Reclamation released its draft modeling for two federal action alternatives under the EIS process. Both alternatives would impose equal amounts of new Lower Basin delivery reductions (0.020-2.900 MAF per year in water years 2024-2026, depending on Lake Mead elevations and the year). The primary difference between the two alternatives is the approach to apportioning reductions among those contracted to receive Colorado River water. One alternative would apportion reductions based on water rights priority (i.e., fewer reductions for California water users); the other would impose the same percentage-based delivery reductions on all Lower Basin contractors.

On May 22, 2023, DOI and basin states announced a consensus-based proposal in which Lower Basin states would conserve a total of 3 MAF prior to 2026, with 2.3 MAF of these cuts compensated by the federal government via $4.0 billion in drought response funds appropriated to Reclamation in P.L. 117- 169. DOI announced a revised EIS timeline focused on analyzing this proposal, with a goal of finalizing near-term changes by the end of 2023. Parallel to this process, Reclamation is studying long-term (post- 2026) operational alternatives. In October 2023, Reclamation released a scoping report detailing public comments on potential long-term operational changes.

Questions facing Congress include how potential changes to basin water management would affect long-term water supplies, how state-level commitments would be met if contractors were unwilling to participate in voluntary actions, and whether federal funding commitments would need to accompany future water delivery curtailments.
