Letters to the Editor: Colorado River pact isn't much of a solution. What L.A. must do to save the river (via latimesopinion )

The river provides water for one-third of the Latinx population in the United States, as well as 30 tribal nations that live across the river basin. Many of these communities currently do not have enough drinking water, and this will only intensify if a more sustainable policy is not implemented to manage the river.
