Colorado River from headwaters to the Mexico delta
CAMERON, ARIZONA - JULY 4: Yolinda Mejia, of the Navajo Nation, siphons water into a 5 gallon bucket to use for a load of laundry outside her home on the Navajo Reservation on July 4, 2022 in Cameron, Arizona. The washing machine is outdoors and is plugged into a generator. When the load is finished the machine dumbs the soapy, dirty, water on the ground. Mejia has lived her whole live on the reservation without power, water, or plumbing. The family has an outhouse they use for a restroom. Reports say that nearly 40% of Navajo Nation is living without running water. Despite living near the Colorado River the Navajo Nation was left out of talks almost a hundred years ago when rule makers were drawing up the Colorado River Compact. Navajo Nation extends into the states, and in those states they have been able to make plans for their people to access water at their homes, but in Arizona the people of Navajo Nation are still looking for a seat at the table.
