This week’s Western-Water Weekly Video (embedded below) dives into the mounting challenges facing the West’s most critical water supplies that were reported over the past week. From Utah’s reservoirs draining at double the usual pace to toxic air drifting from the Tijuana River sewage disaster, the stories reveal just how fragile the region’s water future has become. We explore Lake Mead’s deepening crisis, new science showing climate change is worsening the Colorado River megadrought, and even NASA’s breakthrough satellite tool that could transform how we track water nationwide. Alongside emergency releases in Colorado, innovative farming in California’s Delta, and Arizona’s high-stakes importation proposals, these updates paint a vivid picture of drought, resilience, and the fight for solutions.
