The management of the Colorado River began primarily due to the need for equitable allocation of its water resources among the seven states it traverses, as well as to address the challenges of water scarcity and increasing demand in the arid southwestern United States. The construction of dams and reservoirs, such as the Hoover Dam, was initiated to provide reliable water supply for agriculture, urban areas, and hydroelectric power generation. Additionally, legal agreements like the Colorado River Compact of 1922 were established to regulate water distribution and ensure sustainability amidst competing interests and environmental concerns.
