Water expert: CO River framework doesn't provide enough certainty for lower basin

An Arizona water leader says the federal framework for the Colorado River doesn't provide enough certainty for the lower basin. Director of the ASU Kyl Center for Water Policy, Sarah Porter, told a SciLine webinar the Final Environmental Impact Statement is focused on protecting water infrastructure and the ability to produce hydropower. However, she adds it doesn't resolve conflict between the upper and lower basins.
