随着科罗拉多河供应萎缩,水专家敦促7个州减少使用量,分担痛苦。 Water experts urge seven states to cut usage and share pain as Colorado River supply shrinks.

水专家建议七个依赖科罗拉多河的州共同分担“共同痛苦”, 减少用水量, Water experts recommend that the seven states relying on the Colorado River share "shared pain" by reducing water usage to manage the river's shrinking supply, with current rules expiring in 2026. 这些建议包括不完全依靠联邦资金、给予部落更大的发言权以及确保公众健康和安全。 The recommendations include not relying solely on federal funds, giving tribes a bigger voice, and ensuring public health and safety. 环境团体还敦促减少浪费的农业用水,特别是在加利福尼亚州,那里的大型农场和特大城市消耗了河水的大部分。 Environmental groups also urge reducing wasteful agricultural water use, especially in California, where large farms and mega-dairies consume significant portions of the river's water.
