For Star subscribers: But the proposal, made on a deadline set by federal officials, is likely to face opposition from California, which controls the largest share of the river's water among the seven basin states.
Tony Davis All the Colorado River Basin states but California are proposing new savings of up to 1.5 million acre-feet of Colorado River water annually in an effort to prop up the declining river.
However, the ultimate decision on how much water use is cut will be made by the bureau, although federal courts could overturn that decision in the event of litigation. The new savings also represent less than the upper end of the 2 million to 4 million acre-feet a year of new water use reductions that Reclamation Commissioner Camille Touton said she wanted from the states in congressional testimony last June.
The Southern Nevada Water Authority has estimated that the river loses about 1.5 million acre-feet a year to evaporation in the Lower Basin, downstream of Lake Powell.
