Q&A on Colorado River Water Cuts Features WRRC Director
WRRC Director Sharon B. Megdal recently sat down with Mikayla Kelley from U of A University Marketing and Communications to answer questions about the US Bureau of Reclamation’s recently released 10-year framework for Colorado River water allocations and what it means for Arizona and Tucson. The September 8 Q&A, titled Water Wisdom Following the New Colorado River Framework, covered the new framework’s reductions to Arizona’s Colorado River water deliveries, Tucson Water’s use of stored Central Arizona Project (CAP) water, and the importance of continued water conservation. Megdal also shared practical steps individuals can take to conserve water, including installing water-efficient fixtures, using drip irrigation, collecting rainwater, and watering plants during cooler parts of the day. During the conversation, Megdal highlighted the WRRC’s role in providing water information and resources to the community, including recently published water conservation factsheets for a variety of water users.
