flag Halting irrigation on high-elevation grasslands saves little water; coordinated conservation across Colorado River Basin states is needed amid drought and low reservoir levels.

flag Conservation research on Colorado’s Western Slope shows that halting irrigation on high-elevation grasslands saves little water compared to lower-elevation crops, with users more willing to conserve if the Front Range also reduces usage. flag Despite the Upper Basin’s historical underuse of its Colorado River allocation and past pilot programs saving 100,000 acre-feet, resistance persists due to equity concerns and economic fears. flag Climate-driven drought and record-low reservoir levels have intensified pressure for voluntary, coordinated conservation across all basin states.
