Diego, California, assessed the ability of the Colorado River to meet the demand from scheduled future water deliveries under different climate change scenarios. The authors found that

under a conservative scenario of 10 per cent less runoff, expected water deliveries will fall short by 2040, and that with 20 per cent less runoff, water supplies will be inadequate to meet

demand by 2025. This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS Access through your institution Subscribe to this journal Receive 12 print issues and
