LAS VEGAS
Water officials line up behind Colorado River water plan
Feb 1, 2006, 09:32 AM EST
Water officials from the states that share the Colorado River say
they've reached an agreement on a wide-ranging drought management plan
that they will propose to Interior Secretary Gale Norton this week.
Water officials meeting in Las Vegas say the proposals would give them
more flexibility in determining the water levels in Lake Powell and
Lake Mead.
It also would force the states to review their management plans in
times of extreme shortages.
The proposal encourages investment in technologies and infrastructure
improvements that could increase the amount of water in the system, and
it would let the states reap the benefits of their own projects.
A proposal to manage the river was requested by Norton, who has
threatened to impose a drought management plan by the end of 2007 --
with or without the seven states' recommendations.
