San Diego Relieved by Colorado River Reduction Plans, Water Experts Say

San Diego gets a substantial amount of its water from the Colorado River, and based on the recently released federal plan, it appears the city will avoid the immediate reductions slated for other Colorado River Lower Basin states, including California, Arizona, and Nevada. The sweeping 10-year plan, aimed at addressing the river's drastically decreasing flows, calls for the federal government to reassess the cuts every two years. Essential details related to the document are expected in a matter of days, which would start shaping how the immediate reductions affecting California, Arizona, and Nevada may play out.
