Colorado River Basin Water Accounts: Provoke discussion about more adaptive operations

The purpose of this activity is to provoke participants to discuss more adaptive Colorado River operations than existing operations that equalize reservoirs and expire in 2026. Participants use an interactive, online spreadsheet (Google Sheet) to consume, save, and trade water in 6 basin accounts, protect Lake Powell and Lake Mead, sustain endangered, native fish of the Grand Canyon, and discuss. Follow the requirements and facilitation directions in the readme.md file.
