Seven Colorado River Basin states reach a deal to save water, feds to consider

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:32:22 GMT

For the first time in years all seven states in the Colorado River Basin agree on a plan to save water from their drying region and it’s enough of a consensus for federal officials to pause their own plan, which would also force cuts.U.S. Department of the Interior officials announced the seven-state deal Monday morning. As of last week only the lower-basin states of Arizona, California and Nevada had been on board but now the upper-basin states of Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming have signed on too.Water experts celebrated the seven states for being able to reach a water-saving deal but noted that it won’t be enough to solve the problem for the drying Colorado River Basin. Rather, they said, it might be enough to last a few years while the states, federal officials and Native American tribes work to find a more permanent solution.“This is a short-term measure for a long-term problem,” Gage Zobell, a water law expert and partner at the international law firm Dorsey & Whitn...

What it would mean for the global economy if the US defaults on its debt

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:32:22 GMT

By PAUL WISEMAN (AP Economics Writer)WASHINGTON (AP) — If the debt crisis roiling Washington were eventually to send the United States crashing into recession, America’s economy would hardly sink alone.The repercussions of a first-ever default on the federal debt would quickly reverberate around the world. Orders for Chinese factories that sell electronics to the United States could dry up. Swiss investors who own U.S. Treasurys would suffer losses. Sri Lankan companies could no longer deploy dollars as an alternative to their own dodgy currency.“No corner of the global economy will be spared’ if the U.S. government defaulted and the crisis weren’t resolved quickly, said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics.Zandi and two colleagues at Moody’s have concluded that even if the debt limit were breached for no more than week, the U.S. economy would weaken so much, so fast, as to wipe out roughly1.5 million jobs.And if a government def...
