Colorado River Allocations

The three lower basin states, Arizona, California, and Nevada, were allocated a portion, 7.5 million acre feet a year. California got 4.4 million acre-feet. Arizona got 2.8 million acre-feet. And Nevada got 300,000 acre-feet. It's generally considered that the compact came together after a wet period.
