亚利桑那州加入内华达州科罗拉多河诉讼 阻联邦削减下盆地供水

亚利桑那州州长凯蒂·霍布斯与州水资源部（ADWR）10月16日在Phoenix宣布，亚利桑那州已介入内华达州起诉美国内政部的一宗诉讼，要求联邦政府履行上盆地向米德湖输水的义务，防止每年高达300万英亩英尺的供水削减。

霍布斯表示：「亚利桑那州一向愿意尽自己的一份力量保护科罗拉多河，但我们不会接受一个把危机解决成本强加在我们的家庭、农户与企业身上的联邦强制方案。我们与内华达州一道采取这一法律行动，是因为联邦政府拒绝追究上盆地欠亚利桑那州的输水责任，还威胁强加远超下盆地协议的严苛削减。」她表示，亚利桑那州将继续与内华达州、加利福尼亚州合作执行两年期下盆地协议。

ADWR主任汤姆·布沙茨克表示，介入内华达州的诉讼对保护亚利桑那州对科罗拉多河水资源的法律权利是必要的，同时保留与加利福尼亚州、内华达州达成合作方案的路径。亚利桑那州在诉讼中将寻求保全两年期下盆地协议，并确保联邦政府把属于亚利桑那州与下盆地各州的水输送到米德湖。

据内华达方面说明，这项联邦运行计划于8月定稿、10月1日生效，要求下盆地三州削减用水，却未对上盆地各州设强制削减；内华达州、科罗拉多河委员会与南内华达水务局已于8月24日率先起诉，质疑联邦环境审查程序。南内华达水务局负责人John Entsminger表示，亚利桑那州与内华达州对审查缺陷有共同关切；内华达方面称，新规可能削减其高达71%的科罗拉多河供水。

Arizona Joins Nevada's Colorado River Lawsuit to Block Federal Cuts to Lower Basin Water Supplies

Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs and the Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR) announced in Phoenix on October 16 that the State of Arizona has intervened in a lawsuit brought by Nevada against the U.S. Department of the Interior, to hold the federal government accountable for failing to enforce Upper Basin water delivery obligations to Lake Mead and to prevent cuts of up to 3 million acre-feet per year.

"Arizona has always been willing to do our part to protect the Colorado River, but we will not accept a forced federal plan that solves this crisis on the backs of our families, farmers, and businesses," Hobbs said. "We are drawing a line in the sand. I am taking this legal action alongside Nevada because the federal government refuses to hold the Upper Basin accountable for the water deliveries they owe Arizona, and is threatening to force draconian cuts that go well beyond the Lower Basin Agreement." She said Arizona will continue working alongside Nevada and California to implement the Lower Basin Agreement.

ADWR Director Tom Buschatzke said intervention in the Nevada lawsuit is necessary for Arizona to protect its legal rights to Colorado River water while preserving a path toward a collaborative outcome with California and Nevada. In joining the lawsuit, Arizona will seek to preserve the two-year Lower Basin Agreement while ensuring the federal government delivers to Lake Mead the water that belongs to Arizona and the Lower Basin states.

Nevada officials say the federal operating plan, finalized in August and effective October 1, requires the three Lower Basin states to cut water use while setting no mandatory reductions for the Upper Basin states; Nevada, the Colorado River Commission of Nevada and the Southern Nevada Water Authority filed suit on August 24, challenging the federal environmental review process. Southern Nevada Water Authority General Manager John Entsminger said Arizona shares Nevada's concerns about flaws in the review; Nevada officials say the rules could cut up to 71% of the state's Colorado River supply.
