Colorado River Storage Project

The Colorado River Storage Project is a major water management initiative in the western United States. Initiated in the 1950s, it aims to store and distribute water from the Colorado River to support agriculture, cities, and recreation across several states. The project features important reservoirs like Lake Powell and Glen Canyon Dam, which help manage water supply, generate hydropower, and control flooding. By balancing water distribution among states, the project plays a crucial role in sustaining both the environment and regional economies in an arid area.
