"Everybody ignored it back then because everybody just wanted to believe that there would be an abundance of water forever."

- Kyle Roerink, Executive Director, Great Basin Water Network, says scientists even at the turn of the century knew that there were dry periods on the Colorado River. He further explains that even 15 years ago when they built the management framework, they focused more on surplus than figuring out what to do during dry periods, even though scientific modeling shows that where we are today with the river was very likely to happen.
