科罗拉多河新分水规则10月1日启动，内华达受影响
【拉斯维加斯讯】10月1日起，科罗拉多河流域新的分水规则正式实施。据 WAMC 与 KJZZ 报道，在流域长期干旱、水库水位持续走低的背景下，七个沿岸州与联邦政府就新一轮用水削减达成安排。
内华达州作为下游用水州之一，其每年的配水额度将按新规则执行。南内华达水务局表示，已通过节水与回收措施提前应对，拉斯维加斯地区的供水短期内有保障。
环保组织呼吁各州进一步加大节水力度，农业用水大户则关注补偿机制。新规则的执行情况将按年度评估。

New Colorado River Water-Sharing Rules Begin October 1
[LAS VEGAS] New Colorado River water-sharing rules took effect October 1, WAMC and KJZZ reported. Against prolonged basin drought and sinking reservoir levels, the seven basin states and the federal government settled a new round of water-use cuts.
Nevada, a downstream user, will have its annual allocation governed by the new rules. The Southern Nevada Water Authority said conservation and recycling measures have prepared the region, and Las Vegas-area supply is secure in the near term.
Conservation groups urged states to save more; big agricultural users are watching compensation mechanisms. Implementation of the new rules will be reviewed annually.
