The Western States are in a stalemate on Colorado River conservation. The states of Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming are all involved in the dispute, which centers around how to best manage the Colorado River's limited water resources. The states have been unable to come to an agreement on how to share the river's water, leading to a stalemate that has lasted for years. The issue is further complicated by the fact that the river serves as a vital source of water for millions of people in the region, and any changes to its management could have far-reaching consequences. As the situation stands, the Western States remain at an impasse, with no clear path forward.
