NAWAPA Comments Redux - Numbers 1 - 5

I have probably made more posts on NAWAPA than any other subject - the North American Water and Power Alliance. Here is my first NAWAPA post. 

Here's more information on NAWAPA.

Comments by various readers are below. Your comments are welcomed. Each comment is numbered. More may be coming.

1) I am pleased to see that there are at least some positive comments re NAWAPA. I didn't know those positive views existed. All I have heard about NAWAPA is how horrible it is and how BAD for the environment it would be. But hardly ever a balanced view. If NAWAPA had been built when it was first proposed we would benefit from it today as it would have been completed in the 90s. One might criticise China in many areas but they would have pushed through such a project and made themselves more prosperous in the process.

2) What the hell is everyone going on about> There are literally hundreds of thousands of people living in towns and cities in the Rocky Mountain trench. You can't just evict and destroy/flood hundreds of thousands of peoples' homes, farms and history. America can build reservoirs on its own land. A lot of the water already flows down there anyway. Just build your reservoirs and dams south of the border.

3) North Americas depleted water resource extends from a criminal occupation of lands belonging to Americans, forcefully taken by Caucasians for Empire. This ongoing criminality makes efficient management of adjustment to unfortunate outcomes for all humans virtually impossible. Central and southern stable and saturated aquifers are now below 5,000 feet under surface (not able to provide surface uptake, desert lands without irrigation). Northern Shield has 70 years of water remaining at present consumption levels. When that goes, Empire goes. We are left with a 10,000 year wait for the aquifers to refill at historical intake levels... however, history no longer applies: its all been turned to desert. NAWAPA was never gone: Keystone is a crude piggyback of water channels. WAY 2 GO EMPIRE! Goodbye. Don't come back.

4) As a Canadian you wonder what the right thing to do is. Canada has the largest supply of water and we won't run out of it any time soon. We can help people and make money to support our system. It seems like a win-win situation to me although many would disagree.

5) My understanding of the NAWAPA plan isn't to suck Canada dry of its fresh water sources; instead much water would be diverted from Alaska. Yes there are ecological implications of building aqueducts throughout the continent. However, I'm betting that the ecological cost of the hydroelectric energy gained and overall water supply boost for all 3 countries involved would be much less harmful than the oil sands projects currently operating in Canada.

Enjoy!

CRS Insight Report: 'Responding to Drought in the Colorado River Basin - Federal and State Efforts'

This CRS Insight report (updated 1 February 2023) was written by Charles V. Stern: 'Responding to Drought in the Colorado River Basin: Federal and State Efforts'.

Introduction

The Colorado River Basin (Figure 1) covers more than 246,000 square miles in seven U.S. states and Mexico. Basin waters are managed and governed by multiple laws, court decisions, and other documents known collectively as the Law of the River. The Colorado River Compact of 1922 established a framework to apportion water supplies between the river’s Upper and Lower Basins (divided at Lee Ferry, AZ). Each basin was allocated 7.5 million acre-feet (MAF) annually under the compact; an additional 1.5 MAF in annual flows was made available to Mexico under a 1944 treaty. The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) plays a prominent role in basin water management due to the many federally authorized projects in the basin.

The basin is in the midst of a long-term drought, during which consumptive use has significantly exceeded natural flows. This Insight discusses the hydrological status of the basin, as well as recent agreements and proposals to address the basin’s long-term water supply issues.

When federal and state governments originally approved the Colorado River Compact, it was assumed that river flows would average 16.4 MAF per year. Actual annual flows from 1906 to 2022 were approximately 14.6 MAF, and have dropped to 12.1 MAF per year since the basin’s drought began in 2000. Some studies have projected that these conditions will continue.

The structural deficit between basin water supplies and demand has depleted storage in the basin’s two largest reservoirs—Lake Powell in the Upper Basin and Lake Mead in the Lower Basin—and threatens urban and agricultural water supplies for millions in the Southwest. Reclamation makes operational decisions for basin reservoirs in monthly 24-month studies, which project operational conditions for upcoming years (Figure 2, Figure 3).

Mitigating Drought in the Colorado River Basin
Previous efforts to improve the basin’s water supply outlook included agreements in 2003, 2007, and 2019 (approved by Congress in P.L. 116-14). These agreements reduced Lower Basin deliveries based on Lake Mead storage levels, authorized additional water conservation efforts, and implemented a framework to coordinate Upper Basin operations to prevent losing hydropower generation at Glen Canyon Dam, among other things.

Despite these efforts, storage levels at both reservoirs have continued to fall, with Reclamation instituting Lower Basin delivery curtailments for Arizona and Nevada in 2021 and 2022. In the Upper Basin, Lake Powell fell below 3,525 feet in March 2022 for the first time since the late 1960s. To alleviate the potential for lost hydropower generation at Glen Canyon Dam at lower storage volumes, Reclamation made operational changes on Upper Basin reservoirs in 2021 and 2022.

Studies project that storage in both reservoirs may decrease further in the coming years. At a June 14, 2022, congressional hearing, Reclamation announced that states needed to conserve an additional 2 MAF to 4 MAF in 2023 and 2024 to protect storage volumes. Reclamation noted that if the target was not met with voluntary commitments, it was prepared to act unilaterally.

No major commitments were announced in response to the June request, and Reclamation did not implement new unilateral delivery curtailments. Instead, in October 2022 Reclamation announced its intent to study revised operational guidelines for 2023 and 2024. The alternatives under consideration include new “consensus-based” actions by the states to reduce demand, as well as unilateral delivery curtailments by the federal government.

In response to Reclamation’s announcement, on January 31, 2023, all basin states but California submitted to Reclamation a combined “Consensus Based Modeling Alternative” (CBMA). The CBMA assumes an additional 1.543 MAF per year in delivery reductions on Lower Basin contractors (largely through assessing evaporative losses on Lower Basin states). On the same day, California submitted its own proposal that would, among other things, reduce deliveries for Lower Basin contractors by 1.0 MAF per year. A primary difference between the two proposals is that the CBMA would distribute reductions based on consumptive use, whereas the California alternative would institute proportionally greater reductions on Arizona and Nevada to reflect California’s senior water rights under the Law of the River. To date, the Upper Basin states have declined to contribute a specific volume of cutbacks, instead laying out a five-point plan as the basis for their water conservation efforts. Reclamation’s analysis of short-term operational alternatives for river management is expected later this spring. Parallel to this process, Reclamation and stakeholders are also developing long-term (post-2026) basin operations.

Congress influences basin water management through authorizations and appropriations for Reclamation projects and activities. In addition to the 2019 authorization of the Drought Contingency Plans, Congress reauthorized “system conservation” efforts in the basin. Furthermore, recent regular and supplemental appropriations included funding for Colorado River water conservation efforts. In Section 50233 of P.L. 117-169, Congress provided $4.0 billion for drought mitigation in the West, with priority given to Colorado River Basin activities. Reclamation is using this funding to establish a Lower Basin Conservation and Efficiency Program to pay contractors to forgo deliveries of Colorado River Basin waters.

From Josh:

We’re now looking to keep the platform going, but also get back to what we were doing in 2021, clean up the site a bit in terms of its functionality and make another leap in terms of what we bring you the jobseeker and the employer. New plans include personalized email alerts, decentralized platforms by (some) countries and regions, webinars, member profiles, gender equity initiatives, and more!
 
The idea is to become self-sustaining, but we are not quite there yet, so we need your help! Check here.
 
Josh

And, lest you forgot, today is 'the day the music died.'

Today's Tune - 3 February 1959 Ritchie Valens, Buddy Holly, J.P. Richardson ('The Big Bopper'), and Roger Peterson (pilot) died in a plane crash near Clear Lake, IA. ('The day the music died.' - Don McLean) 'American Pie' - R.I.P. https://youtu.be/y5ecvBaqHBk #aquadocaudio

The links below represent the week's water news as represented by my Tweets. I do not pretend that this survey is a comprehensive survey of the water news; it's my attempt to keep my readers informed to the best of my ability and available time. Links will not appear in more than two categories (excluding the very first category). I have also added two more 'Daily Water Newsletters' to increase coverage. These are the Midcontinent US Water News Daily (#MCUSwater) and the Southeast US Water News Daily (#SEUSwater). The former samples news media within 500 miles of Kansas City, KS and the latter within Knoxville, TN).  With the other seven dailies this affords pretty good daily coverage for the USA.

Scroll down to 'Positions Open' and 'Previous Weeks' Positions Open' to see the jobs. All my individual job Tweets are archived at #JobWaWi. Previous weekly summaries are archived at:  #WaWiNews or click here. If a link does not work, paste the URL into your browser.

Today's Tunes
Today's Tune #1 - 3 February 1959 Ritchie Valens, Buddy Holly, J.P. Richardson ('The Big Bopper'), and Roger Peterson (pilot) died in a plane crash near Clear Lake, IA. ('The day the music died.' - Don McLean) 'American Pie' - R.I.P. https://youtu.be/y5ecvBaqHBk #aquadocaudio

Today's Tune #2 - 3 February 2023. WOW! Stumbled upon this by J.D. Souther: 'You're Only Lonely'. He hung out with Linda Ronstadt (partner for a while), Glenn Frey & The Eagles, Jackson Browne, et al. Great singer-songwriter. https://youtu.be/quglprlSQ8k #aquadocaudio

Today's Tune - 2 February 2023. Los Bravos (1966): Spanish band + German lead singer (Mike Kogel - channeling Gene Pitney) + English lyrics = 'Black Is Black' Big Hit! Too bad DJs talked over intro. Had to sell product! One of my faves! https://youtu.be/LkgyV_tTQfQ #aquadocaudio

Today's Tune - 1 February 2023. OMG! The 'Tartan Teens' themselves! Yes, the Bay City Rollers (name: hit a Michigan map with a dart): 'I Only Wanna Be With You'. Where's Dusty Springfield when I need her? Here: https://youtu.be/osVaF4t-zFc https://youtu.be/KZBijgR0KGc #aquadocaudio

Today's Tune - 31 January 2023. Berry Gordy & Janie Bradford wrote the song. Barrett Strong recorded it for Gordy's company & was Motown's first big hit. Song? 'Money (That's What I Want)'. Strong became a top songwriter. Died 1/30/23 (81). https://youtu.be/96XJl7mxDtc #aquadocaudio

Today's Tune - 30 January 2023. I've always loved The Seekers and Judith Durham's (R.I.P. - June 2022) voice is incredible. This was their first big hit, recorded @ London's Abbey Road studios in autumn 1964: 'I'll Never Find Another You' https://youtu.be/wZf41UudAbI #aquadocaudio

Today's Tune - 29 January 2023. The Doobie Brothers are 'Takin' It To The Streets'. Bill Payne (Little Feat) and Marc Russo (sax) join the Doobies. Too bad the SF 49ers could not do the same! https://youtu.be/VF9Olsay3j0 #aquadocaudio

Today's Tune - 28 January 2023. Here is the Hindley Street Country Club (HSCC) from Adelaide, South Australia, with an AWESOME live version of 'What A Fool Believes'. I'm a believer! https://youtu.be/HJOSiJya80Q #aquadocaudio
