Federal officials this week are expected to ease water cuts for 2024 under a slightly improved outlook for the Colorado River’s health, though long-term challenges remain.

The river provides water for seven U.S. states, 29 Native American tribes and two states in Mexico. It also supports a multibillion-dollar farm industry in the West and generates hydropower used across the region. Years of overuse by farms and cities and the effects of drought worsened by climate change has meant much less water flows today through the Colorado River than in previous decades.

      Its simple really. You just stop breeding them into the world on purpose! The never ending cycle of mass killing is already a thing.

      You don’t think they’re gonna kill them anyway? And genocide? That’s a bit dramatic when you’re only taking about a very small percentage of the overall population.
