跟进：联邦内政部长公开回应亚利桑那州科罗拉多河诉讼
亚利桑那州州长 Katie Hobbs 10月16日宣布，亚利桑那州加入内华达州就联邦科罗拉多河削减计划提起的诉讼。美国内政部长 Doug Burgum 本周在接受 Tucson 当地媒体 13 News 采访时公开回应，称州长选择在法庭上对抗这一计划是错误做法，并表示相关削减在头两年是完全可控的。
据美国垦务局，联邦计划要求亚利桑那州、加利福尼亚州与内华达州在2027年和2028年每年合计削减125万英亩-英尺的科罗拉多河用水；按下流三州拟议的分摊安排，亚利桑那州每年约承担76万英亩-英尺。削减自2027年1月1日起实施。
Hobbs 在10月16日的声明中表示，亚利桑那州正在划出底线，联邦政府拒绝要求上游流域州履行其应向亚利桑那州交付的水量。其发言人表示，州长更希望通过谈判解决，但联邦政府与上游州让亚利桑那州别无选择。
Burgum 表示，诉讼不会创造更多的水，亚利桑那州在七州流域中的水权顺位相对靠后，打官司对本州不利。他同时表示，联邦计划旨在使 Powell 湖水位不低于3,510英尺，以保障 Glen Canyon 大坝的运行可靠性。科罗拉多河流域七州围绕2026年后用水规则的谈判仍在继续。
Follow-up: Arizona: Governor Joins Lawsuit Over Colorado River Cuts as Interior Secretary Responds
Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs announced on October 16 that Arizona is joining Nevada's lawsuit against the U.S. Department of the Interior over the federal Colorado River cut plan. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum responded publicly this week in an interview with Tucson's 13 News, saying the governor is wrong to fight the cuts in court and calling Arizona's first two years of cuts completely manageable.
Under the federal plan signed on August 21, according to the Bureau of Reclamation, Arizona, California and Nevada would cut a combined 1.25 million acre-feet of Colorado River water per year in 2027 and 2028. Under the Lower Basin states' proposed sharing arrangement, Arizona's share would be about 760,000 acre-feet a year. The cuts begin January 1, 2027.
In her October 16 release, Hobbs said Arizona is drawing a line in the sand, and that the federal government refuses to hold the Upper Basin accountable for water deliveries owed to Arizona. A spokesperson said the governor would rather negotiate than fight in court, but that the federal government and the Upper Basin left Arizona with no choice.
Burgum said litigation does not create more water, noted that Arizona holds among the most junior water rights of the seven basin states, and said a court fight would be a bad deal for Arizona. He said the plan also aims to keep Lake Powell from dropping below 3,510 feet to support operational reliability at Glen Canyon Dam. Negotiations among the seven basin states over post-2026 river rules are continuing.
