The Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Program (Salinity Control Program) was designed to meet the objectives of the Colorado River Basin (Basin) Water Quality Standards.
These standards include a plan of implementation to limit further degradation of water quality in the Colorado River that
provides water to southern California, Arizona, Nevada, and New Mexico.
The objective of the Salinity Control Program has been to minimize salt loading in the Colorado River system by seeking cost-effective regional solutions to the problem.
