Water from the Colorado River flows through the East Highline Canal on its way to farms in Imperial Valley on June 20, 2023. Climate change is shrinking the river's supply, and farms in the area are under pressure to reduce demand.

Idaho Matters takes a trip to the Colorado River to see how the southwest is working to cut back on water use and take a peak at how agreements concerning the river are being hammered out by state-level policy makers.

KUNC's Alex Hager reports for the Mountain West News Bureau.
