Following last week’s annual conference of Colorado River water users, the seven basin states are preparing for a second Trump term, and there’s still unfinished business on Capitol Hill. Arizona has already signed a historic $5 billion Indian water rights settlement with three federally recognized tribes, but neighboring states and Congress still need to ratify the deal before this session adjourns — otherwise negotiations will have to begin anew. Stakeholders still aren’t seeing eye-to-eye on Arizona’s agreement — the Northeastern Arizona Indian Water Rights Settlement — despite the fact the Navajo Nation and their allies aggressively advocated for it during the Colorado River Water Users Association conference in Las Vegas. A coordinated campaign ensued.
