Universal Access to Clean Water for Tribal Communities applauds the Biden Administration for dedicating $1 billion in funding to improve Tribal access to drinking water, and for working toward a whole of government approach to help communities in need.
I'm thrilled to report that Senator Michael Bennet and Representative Joe Neguse, along with committed co-sponsors in both the House and the Senate, introduced today the Tribal Access to Clean Water Act of 2023. https://t.co/0SGgtsdRBj

Affirmative and significant step toward Colorado River water use reduction by @DenverWater, @SNWA_H2O, @mwdh2o, @AuroraWaterCO, and @Puebloh2o. This is positive and clear-eyed leadership! https://t.co/o2IQlceqv5
Truly excellent new paper by @FeliciaMarcus on nature based solutions, particularly forest and meadow management, and integrated climate policy for better results in the Colorado River Basin. https://t.co/ivla2qHWZ5 @WaterPolicyGrp#ColoradoRiver
New report from @DigDeepH2O finding that lack of access to clean drinking water costs Americans over $8 billion/yr and the return on investing in clean water supplies is 5 to 1. Do this now for tribal communities! https://t.co/nxK8pBncDK, #CloseTheWaterGap
Happy birthday, @usbr! For 120 years, Reclamation has stewarded water for the benefit of America's West, supplying 10 trillion gallons of water to more than 31 million people each year.
The good news is that Upper Basin runoff didn't fall any further behind in the 2nd half of May.
Forecasted Powell inflows have held steady at ~3500 kaf (55% of avg).
The bad news is pretty much everything else about this year.

Cities can live with climate change diminished flows, but they have to do even more of what some are doing already. Good reporting by @SumanNaishadham. https://t.co/bVdfIy5Uqq
Bipartisan bill provides funding for the "human side of the equation" for Tribes to achieve universal access to clean drinking water. Thanks @awhager.
