โโฆColoradoโs West Slope basins provide nearly 70% of the inflows to Lake Powell and are also essential to communities, agriculture, industry, hydropower, and downstream Colorado River users.
To examine the wide range of possible futures, [they] simulated 2.1 million years, defining 20,000 plausible scenarios applying changes to streamflow, snowmelt timing, drought persistence, and agricultural, municipal, and industrial water demand.
A key finding is that there is ๐ป๐ผ ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด๐น๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ณ๐๐๐๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ต๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ๐. The most influential drivers vary by basin, sector, and water user. In some areas, shortages are driven primarily by persistent low-flow conditions or changing snowmelt timing. In others, increasing municipal, industrial, or irrigation demand plays a larger role. This suggests that adaptation strategies must be tailored to specific basins and users rather than relying on a single, system-wide solution. Other major findings are
โข West Slope deliveries to Lake Powell could fall more than 50% below the current median baseline
โข Storage in major West Slope reservoirs could decline 40โ55% below historical medians
These results underscore the need for water-planning approaches that account for deep uncertainty, persistent drought, shifting snowmelt patterns, and sector-specific demandโฆโ

#HarvestingRainwater with Brad Lancaster: How to Create Livable Desert Cities
by Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't
Jun 9, 2026Part 1 of a 3 Video Series
"In this episode we see the incredible work that Brad Lancaster and his community are doing to make the #DunbarSpring Neighborhood in #TucsonAZ a cooler, more pleasant and human-friendly place to live by using plants as infrastructure and creating a #FoodForest using #NativePlants that are adapted to deal with the desert heat perfectly because they evolved there.
"This video shows us how what Brad and his community have done serve as a model as to what could be down to make cities all over the globe more livable, illustrating how human development and nature do not have to be mutually exclusive. Filming this video and seeing that Brad and his people have done made me feel in something I haven't felt in a long time : hope."
