SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (AP) — Compared to neighboring states, Utah is less dependent on water from the Colorado River. About 27% of the water used in Utah comes from the Colorado River, with the majority of the state’s water supply coming from other rivers that feed into the Great Salt Lake. Still, Utah is aggressively pursuing conservation measures through a broad suite of state legislation passed this year, including a law that allows farmers to forgo irrigation without losing their water rights. Water officials say that bringing the system back into balance will likely require the biggest cuts to come from the biggest water users in downstream states.
