“We’re going back to the concept of trying things out. People will come up with ready-to-rock, low-hanging-fruit stuff. What that is I can’t say precisely. But we know it’s out there.”

To put this in context - 11 maf/year of natural flow would be an INCREASE over what we've in the last 5 years (Note 2020&21 flows are provisional and 2022 is preliminary). My estimate for the last five years is 10.77 maf/year.

ICYMI, much more from last week's @sjquinney #ColoradoRiver Compact centennial symposium in a thread.... xitter.cf/jfleck/status/15055898…
The #ColoradoRiver news we heard at last week's @sjquinney symposium was stark. As the reservoirs behind Hoover and Glen Canyon dams drop, we have huge problems. But the biggest news you didn't hear is worth noting too.
