there are also several other agreements in place to manage the Colorado River, including the Central Arizona Project, the Lower Colorado River Basin Project, and the Colorado River Storage Project. These agreements outline the distribution of water from the river to the various states and provide guidelines for how the water will be used and managed.

The allocation of Colorado River water will likely continue to be a contentious issue in the future, as the western U.S. faces growing water demands and changing environmental conditions. Efforts to revise the Colorado River Compact and find more sustainable and equitable solutions to water allocation will likely play a key role in shaping the future of the river and the states it serves.
