People in Yuma say they’re growing concerned after seeing some of the lowest Colorado River levels they can remember. Residents who regularly visit the river say parts of it looked dramatically different compared to just a few weeks ago, with some areas appearing nearly dry. The concern comes as Arizona and other Lower Basin states continue negotiating long-term plans to avoid major water shortages tied to Lake Mead and Lake Powell. Officials say water levels are expected to rise again as upstream dam operations are adjusted, but many locals say what they’re seeing feels like a warning sign for Arizona’s future water supply.
