text:  Perhaps we need to be thinking about rather than temporary conservation investments in longer term conservation beyond what we're already doing. Between 2023 and 2024, the program spent $45 million to save a little more than 1% of the Colorado River water allocated to the upper basin. I'm hesitant to keep pushing for temporary conservation. I think we have pretty clear climate signals that say the basins are ratifying and we need big reductions to water use.
