Flagstaff Festival of Science: Climate Change and the Colorado River Compact’s Next 100 Years (LIVE STREAM ALSO AVAILABLE)

September 25, 2023 @ 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm

Free
Climate change is already affecting the American West as the aridification of the Colorado River basin has directly reduced the amount of regional snowfall and rainfall that now reaches the Colorado River.
The seven states that signed the Colorado Compact in 1922 are now struggling to find a long-term water management system that reflects the impact of climate change and long-term droughts. This past winter may have deferred the reckoning, but climate change requires some fundamental changes to the Colorado Compact.
