Navajo Nation Perspective The lack of infrastructure, the lack of economic development and the sustained poverty are closely connected. Families can not find their livelihoods here. Climate Variability is making things tougher.

Colorado River Basin Allocates 50,000 acre-feet of consumptive use to Arizona in Upper Basin Apportions water to the Upper Basin States: Colorado 51.75% New Mexico 11.25% Utah 23.00% Wyoming 14.00% Note: The Hydrologic Determination in 1989 shows the Upper Basin as having a firm yield of 6.0 million acre-feet per year once downstream Compact delivery obligations are accounted for.
