Innovation on the Colorado: Metropolitan’s Regional Recycled Water Program & Lower Basin Drought Resilience

Metropolitan Water District’s proposed Regional Recycled Water Program (RRWP) presents an innovative opportunity that reflects the kind of creativity needed to both increase supplies and draw down demands on the Colorado River, widely predicted to face some of the most dramatic impacts due to climate change.

As it stands, the Southern Nevada Water Authority has signed an agreement to contribute funding for the environmental planning of the RRWP. Central Arizona Project has also signed letters of intent to work with Metropolitan to support the program. Learn about how these partnerships can help improve Colorado River sustainability and benefit Lower Basin States.
