Federal officials say for the third year in a row that Arizona, Nevada and Mexico will live with less Colorado River water as drought lingers in the West. The announcement Friday means Arizona will again go without 18% of its allocation, while Mexico loses 5%. The reduction for Nevada will stay at 7%. Meanwhile, the states are working to reach agreement by next year on new long-term rules to govern the river in dry years. The Trump administration gave states that rely on the river until mid-November to set preliminary rules for dry years or risk federal intervention. Negotiations have faced delays as states push back against how much water they should each give up.
