SWCASC Researchers Publish White Paper on the Future of the Colorado and Green Rivers

SW CASC PI Brad Udall (Colorado State University), and SW CASC researchers Lindsey Bruckerhoff and Jack Schmidt (Utah State University), are authors on a recently published white paper from the Center for Colorado River Studies titled, "Alternative Management Paradigms for the Future of the Colorado and Green Rivers." The authors describe how declining runoff and increased consumptive use on the Colorado and Green Rivers will impact water supplies and ecosystems. They also focus on how these risks can be addressed, and offer a wide variety of alternative management paradigms for managers to consider, with the goal of encouraging conversation and consideration of new management concepts in order to better meet future needs.
