California Water Agencies Extend Funding for Colorado River Board

The Colorado River Board of California (CRB), tasked with safeguarding the state’s water rights and interests in the Colorado River since its establishment in 1937, will continue its operations through July 1, 2026, under a newly proposed one-year funding extension. The amendment was approved through the consent calendar at the Tuesday, June 17, Imperial Irrigation District (IID) board meeting. It extends the existing financial agreement among the Six Agency Committee (SAC) without altering the cost-sharing structure.
