GRAND CANYON - The federal government's top water official urged Arizona
leaders
Sunday to work with other states to develop a drought plan for the Colorado
River because not even the best scientists can say when this dry spell will
end.
Speaking to the opening session of Arizona Town Hall, Assistant Interior
Secretary Bennett Raley said the states that use the Colorado must be prepared
for a range of scenarios in the coming years and can't rely on any set of
computer predictions.
"Our best modelers didn't predict the last five years of drought," Raley said.
"Do not be deluded into thinking that models will tell you what will happen
next
year. Their crystal ball doesn't work."
