This includes releasing water from upstream reservoirs, implementing voluntary conservation measures both now and in the future, and strictly regulating water supplies. The Upper Basin states have also demonstrated their ability to adapt their water usage based on available supplies each year.

The governors are also working towards a consensus among all seven states, which would open up opportunities for federal funding to support conservation efforts and innovative water-saving technologies throughout the basin. They believe that by working together, they can ensure a sustainable future for the Colorado River and all those who depend on it. They urge everyone involved to rise to this occasion and find a resolution that benefits all parties involved.
