Feds outline 'necessary steps' for Colorado River agreement by 2026 but no recommendation yet.

Announcement offers no recommendation or decision about how to divvy up water from the river.

Federal water officials outlined four proposals for action and one “no action” alternative.

In 2026 , legal agreements that apportion the river will expire; federal government has just months to agree what to do.

“The river needs basin-wide curtailments, agreements to make tribes whole, a moratorium on new dams and diversions,” he says.

Buschatzke declined to speculate about whether Trump administration officials will pick up where Biden 's leaves off.

“There are a lot of people who have been working on this for a long time who will still be involved in the negotiations and modeling, she says.
