Arizona, Nevada Agree to Trade for Desalinated Pacific Ocean Water

Arizona and Nevada have agreed to a trade that would bring desalinated Pacific Ocean water to the region, potentially alleviating severe water shortages. The plan involves utilizing a decade-old treatment plant in San Diego County, California, to provide this new water source. By importing desalinated water, more water can be left in the Colorado River for the states that rely on it. This agreement aims to address the severe water shortages faced by Arizona and Nevada.
