CAP invites anyone from the general public to attend a free ASU symposium that will explore Lower Basin perspectives on the Law of the River and the implication on Arizona’s allocation of Colorado River water. The symposium is being held from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 4 at the Beus Center for Law and Society, W.P. Carey Foundation Armstrong Great Hall, 111 E. Taylor Street, Phoenix.
As drought conditions persist and reservoir levels decline, the divide between the Upper and Lower Basin legal perspectives continues to grow, shaping negotiations and influencing decision-making at every level. Understanding the complex web of laws, agreements, policies and contracts that govern the Colorado River – often referred to as the “Law of the River” – is essential to navigating the river’s future.
Hosted by the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State University, this symposium brings together leading voices from the legal, academic, policy and historical communities to spark meaningful dialogue and insight.
