Thread-Review - #DCP #AZDCP #LBDCP has failed…
August 2019 - @CAPArizona – Colorado River Drought Contingency Plan - Fact Sheet page 1 – “DCP will begin in *2020* & Risk of Lake Mead going below 1025’ *8% with #DCP*” @azwater @AZWaterFacts @AMWUA #azwater #AZleg
“A Colorado River water shortage does not mean that Arizona is in a water crisis.
Arizona residents can now be assured that future water supplies are more reliable and secure. The economies supporting the state can continue to thrive based on this secure water supply.”@CAPArizona
1/ 31/2019 Arizona Republic Editorial Board – was giddy (and contradictory) with praise: "Years from now, you'll thank Arizona for joining the Drought Contingency Plan...
“Arizona has done something truly monumental… All DCP does is buy us time.”

April 2020 - Lower Basin/Lake Mead 5 year Risk Model by @USBR shows Risk is zero…
July 9, 2020 – @azwater proclaims ‘success’: “We’re proud of Arizona’s success in the DCP process. We’re equally proud of the in-state DCP agreements that many Arizona stakeholders signed to create that success." #AZleg #azwater @CAPArizona
new.azwater.gov/news/articles/…
However, proclaiming success only 6 months after the start of #DCP was premature…

Within a year, zero Risk jumps to 25% in April, 2021; and 2 months later, July 2021 to 38%...

April & June 2021 @USBR 5 year (Risk) Models, – 25% & 38% respectively…
@azwater @CAPArizona #AZleg
Arizona’s ‘time’ has run out. Why? #DCP was doomed to fail from the beginning.

Colorado River #Evaporation
July 2021 - @usbr Lower Basin Consumption exceeded Lake Powell release!

In 2021 a negative ‘balance’ of 647,654 ACRE-FEET *without* #evaporation!
#DCP is mostly a shell game of Paper or ‘Dry’ water - added allocations (#ICS - foregoing water delivery)-and ‘wet’ water (mitigation–Pinal County Farmers, for example) delivery/releases from Lake Mead, in addition to typical Lower Basin consumption. @CAPArizona @azwater #AZleg
Another @usbr Chart- showing the dive since adoption of the Drought Contingency Plan - #DCP epic fail...🙄
