A century after the Colorado River Compact, the population in the Colorado River Basin has surged from 200,000 to 40 million. Experts warn that while water conservation efforts are crucial, climate change is rapidly outpacing these measures. Cities like Phoenix, Denver, and Las Vegas exemplify the urgent need for enhanced water conservation strategies. The situation is becoming increasingly critical as water scarcity looms.

⛰️ 🇺🇸 🏞 A century ago when the Colorado River Compact was agreed upon, the Colorado River Basin had a population of about 200,000. Today that figure is 40,000,000. But do go on blaming climate change: “Water conservation works, but climate change is outpacing it: Phoenix, Denver and Las Vegas offer a glimpse of the future.”

Water conservation the like of what we have never seen is not a 'nice to have', it is inevitable.
