This week’s Western Water Weekly explores the biggest water stories across the Colorado River Basin, from controversy over New Mexico’s Project Jupiter data center to Utah’s push for water-use transparency. The episode covers Colorado’s historic move to convert the Shoshone Water Rights into a permanent instream flow, the growing scrutiny over mining operations and groundwater stress, and New Mexico’s wildfire-linked well contamination. We also break down major changes proposed in the federal “waters of the United States” rule, examine reduced releases at Davis Dam, and wrap up with the latest drought conditions showing both early-season relief and ongoing long-term challenges.
