Welcome and Introduction
Session One: Sovereign Perspectives on the Post-2026 Management Framework
A defining characteristic of the Colorado River is the large number of sovereign governments with legally defined water rights and responsibilities. How are the many parties working together to craft post-2026 rules?
Part 1: State of the Basin: The Federal Perspective - Commissioner Camille Calimlim Touton, U.S. Bureau of Reclamation
What is the federal government doing to manage the river through 2026 (under various hydrologic scenarios), to lead the states and tribes to new reservoir operating rules post 2026, and to advance US/Mexico cooperation?
Part 2: Reflections on the US-Mexico Relationship - Roberto F. Salmon, former IBWC Commissioner for Mexico
Building on past (but expiring) Minutes (i.e., binational agreements), how is Mexico working with the US on a post-2026 management framework?
Presented by Getches-Wilkinson Center with co-convener Water & Tribes Initiative
