Federal officials announced sharp water cuts for California, Nevada, and Arizona over the next two years, with Arizona facing the biggest reductions. The Bureau of Reclamation's plan requires the three states to cut 1.25 million acre-feet annually, while Mexico will reduce intake by 250,000 acre-feet. The cuts come amid a 26-year drought and record-low reservoir levels.
