Colorado River Coalition Urges Congress for $2 Billion Drought Response Funding
A coalition of over 70 organizations, including water agencies, agricultural groups, and conservation organizations, is urging Congress to approve at least $2 billion in federal funding to address severe drought conditions in the Colorado River Basin. The coalition highlights the critical state of the Colorado River system, which supplies water to over 35 million people. The funding would support drought mitigation, water conservation, and infrastructure modernization. The coalition warns that without immediate federal support, the region faces increased risks to water security, agriculture, and ecosystem health.
