Colorado River Water Will Vary With Climate Scenarios; Water For Development Could Run Out By 2040: Study

The Colorado River probably still has water that could be used for development in Colorado, but how much remains unknown, according to a new study of the river.

As many as 900,000 acre-feet of water could be available for development, the study suggests. It also suggests that under a worst-case scenario, there could be no water for development by 2040.
