A federal plan aims to address a crisis in a major river basin. This plan may impact a desert community that relies heavily on the river for water. The community has already made cuts and could face further losses.

Its mayor is concerned about the community's future, despite efforts to reduce reliance on the river. These efforts include reviving old wells and striking water deals.

Further details about the plan and its potential impact are available from the source, including the effects of climate change and overuse on the river basin.
