Climate change is shrinking Colorado River and raising tough questions about cuts.
1. Reduce current allotments across the board based on estimate of the river volume. Now!
2. Reduce the outflow from Powell and Meade to match the inflow.
3. Maintain the current storage volume.
4. Put the feds in charge of the whole system.
5. Cancel the 1922 compact.
6. Develop pumped hydro storage along the river where useful.
7. Do large solar arrays near the dams to supplement the lost hydro power.
