The Colorado River Basin Water Supply and Demand Study (Study), initiated in January 2010, was conducted by the Bureau of Reclamations (Reclamation) Upper Colorado and Lower Colorado regions, and agencies representing the seven Colorado River Basin States (Basin States) in collaboration with stakeholders throughout the Colorado River Basin (Basin). The purpose of the Study is to define current and future imbalances in water supply and demand in the Basin and the adjacent areas of the Basin States that receive Colorado River water over the next 50 years (through 2060), and to develop and analyze adaptation and mitigation strategies to resolve those imbalances. The Study contains for major phases to accomplish this goal: Water Supply Assessment, Water Demand Assessment, System Reliability Analysis, and Development and Evaluation of Options and Strategies for Balancing Supply and Demand.
