In addition to those #water #conservation programs, the #InflationReductionAct set aside hundreds of millions of dollars for projects aimed at keeping #ColoradoRiver tributaries #clean & #healthy. Conservation groups, small nonprofits, Native American tribes, & local governments were assigned federal money for a bevy of projects that included #Wildfire prevention & #HabitatRestoration.

That is no small feat, as leaders of the states that use #ColoradoRiver #water are caught in a #legal standoff about how to share it going forward.…
"Having this appropriated funding suddenly taken away undoes years & years of very careful collaboration among the #states in the #ColoradoRiverBasin," Castle said, "& threatens the #sustainability of the entire system."

#Water users whose #grants have been paused said they are asking the federal govt for more info & getting little in the way of answers. The #FederalAgencies in charge of Western water did not respond to NPR's requests for comment [probably because they were fired by #Musk].
#Conservation programs like the one sending money to #California #farmers have been key in boosting water supplies in major #reservoirs.

…Some #water experts say they are surprised to see these water conservation programs frozen by #Trump's executive order, since they do not appear to be in line w/the president's stated priorities of eliminating #diversity programs & boosting domestic #energy production.
"These are not woke environmental programs," said Anne Castle, who held federal water policy roles…. "These are essential to continued ability to divert #water."

The 2022 #InflationReductionAct allowed President #Biden to designate $4B for #ColoradoRiver programs, including big sums for programs that pay #farmers, #cities & #NativeAmerican [#IndigenousPeople] tribes to #conserve Colorado River #water &, instead, leave it in those #reservoirs. The payments are compensation for money they can't make by using water to grow crops or for other uses.

As Drought Shrivels Hydropower, Zambia Is Pivoting to Solar
"#Zambia has lost $1.3 billion due to the energy crisis, equivalent to 5 percent of gross domestic product, says an economist.
As #ClimateChange threatens more frequent and intense droughts, Zambia will remain vulnerable to such crises so long as it relies on #hydroelectricity. That’s why the nation has recently pivoted to a more predictable type of renewable energy: solar."

If anyone here has experience with #microhydro (or knows someone who does), please get in touch. Thinking about setting up a low-environmental-impact micro hydro system next year, but have some questions.

California has a massive snowpack this year thanks to a wet winter and spring. This means more clean and cheap electricity for the state, as the melting snow will feed the hydroelectric dams. The extra power will also help reduce the risk of blackouts and wildfires during summer.
