This winter relieves *some* pressure on our water supply—but we would need years of big winters to restore water levels. The reality is we need to prepare for a drier future, and make plans to share the shortages #CORiver #birdsneedwater abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/h…

Water is life

Conservation Organizations Emphasize Need to Protect Environmental Priorities in Colorado River Basin | Audubon #birdsneedwater audubon.org/news/conservat…

The river's end: In Mexico, where the shrinking Colorado River no longer flows to the sea, some are calling for a "water revolution." latimes.com/environment/st… @bvdbrug @latimes

The massive dams on the #ColoradoRiver were supposed to protect us. But today, the water stored behind them is so diminished that govt has warned of system collapse. We all have to use less water. audubon.org/news/how-save-…

We need to continue reforming Colorado River management—because while winter storms are inherently good for water supplies, there is no guarantee winters will be long, sustained, or consistent. @JnPitt #BirdsNeedWater audubon.org/news/well-west…

If states use the 100-year-old #ColoradoRiver Compact and other venerable laws to argue that management improving outcomes for tribes and environment is not possible, they will be proving the legal framework needs reform #birdsneedwater audubon.org/news/the-color…

Immediate water conservation is needed to prevent near-term crisis on the Colorado River, but the conditions driving the crisis will continue—showing the need for structural changes in river management. All stakeholders need to be included. #BirdsNeedWater audubon.org/news/how-negot…

Today is the last day of 2022 flows in the #CORiver Delta supporting communities, birds, and other wildlife. This wouldn't be possible w/o significant collaboration b/w the U.S. and Mexico @usbr @conagua_mx @usibwc @cilamexico #birdsneedwater audubon.org/news/water-col…

We can fix this with collaborative decision-making!

As we face a hotter, drier climate, short-term reductions in water use are non-negotiable—carrying on as usual risks collapse of the #CORiver's reservoirs. Durable investments are also needed to help the wildlife that depend on it. @jnpitt #BirdsNeedWater audubon.org/news/feds-pred…

"The cuts are significant, but I think even more significant is the rapidity with which the reservoirs on the Colorado River are declining. And we have clear indications that these cuts won't be enough." @JnPitt @audubonsociety pbs.org/newshour/show/…

Coming up tonight on @NewsHour, how the most recent water cuts will and will not help the crisis of the shrinking #ColoradoRiver w/ @JnPitt
