Nevada sues over Colorado River water cuts

The state of Nevada has filed a lawsuit against the federal government over plans to cut its water share from the Colorado River, which is vital for agriculture and providing water to over 40 million people, including residents of Phoenix. The plan aims to reduce water consumption by 3.7 billion cubic meters annually by 2036, threatening to deprive Nevada of a third of its current allocation. This could have catastrophic consequences for Las Vegas, which relies on the river for 90% of its water needs. The state governor stated that the issue is about preserving the community, criticizing federal measures that are considered necessary to prevent dam failures and the collapse of energy supplies.
