Now, the focus turns to the future. Climate change's impact on the river basin is a significant factor as negotiations begin, with officials considering how to navigate these challenges. The aim is to ensure a sustainable future for the Colorado River, with all stakeholders working together. Check out link in bio to read more from @CNN.
