Battle Over Colorado River Water Ends In A Draw
- •The Colorado River basin faces increasing water scarcity due to growing demand from expanding populations and agriculture in the Southwest.
- •The 'draw' signifies ongoing regulatory uncertainty regarding water allocation, meaning no definitive long-term solution has been reached, posing risks for water-intensive operations.
- •This persistent water stress could constrain hydro generation and cooling for thermal power plants, potentially impacting grid reliability and power costs in the Southwest (e.g., CAISO region).
