Nevada Challenges Interior on Colorado River Cuts

Nevada has filed a federal lawsuit against the Department of the Interior challenging a new water management plan for the Colorado River, which proposes a 21% reduction in water allocations for California, Nevada, and Arizona starting in 2027. The lawsuit contends the plan's cuts could leave southern Nevada with less than 86,500 acre-feet annually, insufficient for its needs, and argues that the Interior Department failed to consider the economic and environmental impacts. The dispute arises amid ongoing drought and declining reservoir levels, with other states already voicing objections to the plan.
