California negotiator discusses the federal plan
JB Hamby tells NPR member stations that the plan matches California's long-standing proposal and targets a structural deficit driven by 25 years of drought and climate change.
Federal government releases Colorado River plan details
U.S. officials publish details of a two-year management proposal, including 1.5 million acre-feet per year in cuts for the lower basin and Mexico and much smaller cuts for upper basin states.
Hurricane Polo reached 80 mph sustained winds in the eastern Pacific and is forecast to rapidly intensify into a major hurricane while tracking along Mexico's western coast. The National Hurricane Center projects 4–8 inches of rain, with isolated totals near 12 inches, across Guerrero and Michoacán through Thursday, raising flood and mudslide risk. The storm arrives amid a record-late Atlantic hurricane start as El Niño suppresses Atlantic formation while the eastern Pacific stays active.
The federal government released a two-year Colorado River plan that would cut lower basin and Mexico usage by 1.5 million acre-feet per year while asking far less of upper basin states. California's top negotiator JB Hamby says the framework matches state proposals and targets a structural deficit worsened by a 25-year drought. The plan is a major climate adaptation test for water security across the Southwest.
Mexico is deploying 200 firefighters to combat wildfires in northwestern Ontario and British Columbia, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced, a move that underscores how climate change is forcing nations to rethink international disaster cooperation and solidarity across borders.
