The Colorado River supports $1.4 trillion in annual economic activity and 16 million jobs in California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Wyoming ... If just 10% of the river's water were unavailable for people, we would see a loss of $143 billion in economic activity and 1.6 million jobs in just one year.
