The CRRG was well represented in a live PBS event broadcast from Hoover Dam (on July 24, 2024) focused on the Colorado River鈥檚 challenges. John Fleck and Jack Schmidt were part of a line-up that also included Bruce Babbitt, JB Hamby, Mark Kelly, Karen Kwon, Pat Mulroy, Jim Lochhead, and...

The latest publication from the Center for Colorado River Studies looks back at the 2024 runoff season (mid-April to early July), observing that the basin netted only a modest bump in storage of 2.5 maf, a significant volume but much lower than the unusually wet 2023 season. However, combined with...

New research from a team at the University of Wyoming (including the CRRG鈥檚 Kristi Hansen) suggests that flood irrigation in shallow alluvial aquifers can have significant economic benefits in the Upper Green by creating return flow regimes benefitting the brown trout sport fishing economy. The work highlights the complicated site-specific...

Colorado River Research Group (CRRG) members Jack Schmidt, Eric Kuhn and John Fleck submitted an 鈥渁lternative鈥� to the post-2026 EIS process entitled: 鈥淢anaging the Powell/Grand Canyon/Mead ecosystem after 2026.鈥� In a nutshell, the alternative suggests that the Secretary of Interior be empowered to employ an adaptive management approach allowing releases...

Water Year 2023 was exceptional for runoff and for boosting reservoir storage---but it isn't likely to repeat itself for the additional 3-6 years needed to refill the reservoirs to 1999 levels (the last time they were full). We need to work to conserve the gains of WY2023, as history shows...

Cornerstone at the Confluence: Navigating the Colorado River Compact's Next Century is a book that leverages the centennial year to reflect on the compact and broader 鈥淟aw of the River.鈥� The book was edited by CRRG member Jason Anthony Robison; several other CRRG members contributed.

Professor Jason Robison joined the podcast Ripple Effect to discuss the latest activities for the Colorado River, including the BOR's recent Tier 2 Shortage Declaration, status of interstate negotiations, and much more.

鈥淯nprecedented,鈥� said Jason Robison, a professor of natural resources law at the University of Wyoming. 鈥淭wo to four million acre feet in conservation saving blows the doors off of anything that has been done since the onset of the megadrought in 2000.鈥�
