A plan has been put in place to reduce water use in certain states. California, Nevada, and Arizona are affected by this plan, which aims to decrease water consumption. The reduction in water use is substantial, with a significant amount of acre-feet to be cut annually.

Arizona faces the largest cuts, while other states are not currently impacted. Mexico has also agreed to reduce its water intake under a treaty. Further details about the plan and its implications are available, including the context of a prolonged drought period and the involvement of federal officials.
