The Colorado River Compact

The Colorado River Compact:

A) is a 1922 agreement that stipulates an annual allotment of 7.5 million acre-feet of water each to the upper Colorado (Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming) and the lower Colorado (California, Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico) .
B) because it underestimated the average annual flow of the Colorado River, and it locked that estimate into the multistate agreement, most states today overdraw to keep up with the actual flow of the river.
C) is a 1992 agreement that stipulates how states in the upper Colorado (Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming) and the lower Colorado (California, Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico) must conserve and share water between the industrial, agricultural, and municipal (domestic) sectors.
D) is threatened by population growth in the upper Colorado (Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming) but fortunately low population growth in the lower Colorado (California, Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico) has kept basic purpose of the Compact (to conserve Colorado water) intact.
