2000-2019 in the Colorado River Basin and Beyond
Abstract
In the first two decades of the 21st century the Colorado River Basin suffered a prolonged drought. Remarkably this period turned out to be arguably the most innovative and collaborative in the basin's modern human history. This working paper reviews the major events of the period, highlights some of the important policy and management achievements, and identifies some of the biggest remaining challenges as basin interests begin renegotiating the Interim Shortage Guidelines.
