Hickenlooper Statement on Colorado River Announcement

WASHINGTON - Today, following the release of draft alternatives for post-2026 operations on the Colorado River by the Department of Interior's Bureau of Reclamation, U.S. Senator John Hickenlooper released the following statement:

"These proposed alternatives underscore how serious a situation we're facing on the Colorado River. The only path forward is a collaborative, seven-state plan to solve the Colorado River crisis without taking this to court. Otherwise, we'll watch the river run dry while we sue each other."
