Salinity Control Program

The Salinity Control Program is an effort to manage and reduce the salt content in the Colorado River to protect water quality and resources. High salinity levels can harm agriculture, ecosystems, and water users. The program works by implementing projects like controlling sources of salt from agriculture and other industries, and managing water flow to minimize salt buildup. These measures help ensure the river remains a reliable and safe water source for farmers, cities, and ecosystems, balancing human needs with environmental health.
