由于持续干旱,亚利桑那州、内华达州和墨西哥面临科罗拉多河第三年的缺水情况。 Arizona, Nevada, and Mexico face third-year Colorado River water cuts due to persistent drought.

据联邦官员说,由于持续干旱,亚利桑那州、内华达州和墨西哥将连续第三年面临科罗拉多河水分配的减少。 Arizona, Nevada, and Mexico will face reduced water allocations from the Colorado River for a third consecutive year due to ongoing drought, according to federal officials. 亚利桑那州将失去18%的水分配, 墨西哥将面临5%的削减, 内华达州将继续削减7%。 Arizona will lose 18% of its water allocation, Mexico will face a 5% reduction, and Nevada will continue with a 7% reduction. 加利福尼亚州由于高级水权而免于削减。 California is exempt from cuts due to senior water rights. 各州正努力争取在明年达成一项新的协定,以便在旱年管理河水,但由于在水分配问题上存在分歧,谈判被推迟。 The states are working towards a new agreement by next year to manage the river during dry years, but negotiations are delayed due to disagreements over water allocations. 干旱因气候变化而加剧,导致米德湖和鲍威尔湖的储水量较低。 The drought, exacerbated by climate change, has led to low reservoir levels at Lake Mead and Lake Powell.
