5:22 am
as well as some areas in northwest mexico from reynolds has the very latest from the centuries. the root cause of the impacts that we're seeing here is 23 years of severe drought. and that has drawn down the levels of the reservoirs on the colorado river lake powell lake need to dangerously low levels to the point where if things go as they have been, the river basically stop flowing. now the water is allocated among the various western states from the colorado river under the terms of a 100 year old tree called the colorado river compact. it's rather complicated and it's somewhat outdated because it doesn't take into account the explosive growth of cities like phoenix and scottsdale and las vegas. so what the by did ministration is proposing is sweeping away all of the provisions of the treaty at least
5:23 am
temporarily. and having each state commit to a 25 percent across the board, caught in their water unsuccessful negotiations amongst the states themselves. they can't agree on a formula. so this is what the administration is proposing. if that goes through it is definitely going to cause pain and a reassessment of the way that water is use so that the farmers, for example, as well as city dell, dwellers will have to use water more wisely. but the alternative is to lose the call real rowdy river altogether. well, staying with this, peter glick, his co founder and senior fellow the pacific institute for studies in development, environment, and security. he's also from berkeley, california. welcome to the program. so has this been caused by too much demand for water or climate change, or is it a bit of both and you'll be well,
5:24 am
i think it's absolutely both problems. we've seen a significant drop in the amount of water in the colorado river, and there is an excess of demand. there's always been for many, many years now, are well understood that the demand for water exceeds the reliable supply. i and the states have not been able to come to an agreement about how to share that shortage. and as a result, the reservoirs have dropped as your introduction to the story told, and they're simply not enough water now to meet all the demand. what indeed, as you say, mean cutting back on water. sounds reasonable, doesn't it? but how would this work in practice? how do you agree on who cuts back on what? well, the problem has been that the 7 states that share the water resources of the colorado river had not been able to come to an agreement about how to share that shortage. so now we have the federal government stepping in which managers the big reservoirs
5:25 am
on the river, shang, you're going to have to come to an agreement to equally share, the shortages. the states themselves will have to decide internally who gets cut within the states, whether farmers or cities do. but the federal government is stepping in and suggesting we're going to have to see equal cuts among the states equal proportional cuts. i and hopefully that will break the impasse that we've seen up till to day. isn't that a good thing though, that they are stepping in? it is a good thing. because without an agreement among the 7 states, the reservoirs would eventually be drawn completely dry. the ecosystem would be damaged and we would still see impacts on farmers and the cities no matter what. so the fact that the federal government is now beginning to step in hopefully will lead ultimately to a solution for all the states. but given the risks of climate change to the threat of climate change, now something is going to have to be done. and the colorado river is not the only
5:26 am
major river world wide that is facing these kinds of challenges. with so much recent snow and rain fall in the west over winter, people might be forgiven for thinking what's going on here. they might be a bit surprised by this. yes. so we have been in extreme drought multi year droughts in colorado river. california has had a 3 year severe drought, but this year has been remarkably extremely wet. and the fear of course is that one wet year will make people forget all the drought is over. we don't have to worry about this anymore. it might reduce some of the pressure to come to an agreement, but hopefully with the federal government stepping in now will be able to reach an agreement because the drought is not really over and climate change is going to continue to worse and the availability of water in the very arid western united states, but her stuff is most from water cuts, then is it farmers, native communities, or whole cities? it will depend on how the states themselves allocate, the shortages at the moment,
5:27 am
80 percent of the water that's used in the colorado river, like 80 percent of the water that used worldwide goes to agriculture. much of the agricultural use in the colorado river is fairly low. valued its alfalfa that grows for feeding cows. i think a lot of the cuts that we'll see will probably be to lower valued agricultural uses rather than the more valuable, higher valued urban and industrial uses. but cities are gonna have to cut back as well. the potential there, of course, the cities can do more to use water more efficiently as well. but i think farmers are going to bear the brunt of this because of their lower valued uses of water. we'll leave it there. peter g lake, we very much appreciate your insights. thank you. my pleasure. the u. s. president joe biden is in northern ireland for for day visit tomorrow. the 25th anniversary of the signing of the good friday peace agreement. air force one landed in belfast
