The resolution H.C.R. 2046 recognizes the significant impact of forest mismanagement and the proliferation of salt cedars on the water supply of the Colorado River. It highlights that these factors contribute to reduced annual inflows, which in turn affect water availability for people, agriculture, and businesses. The resolution emphasizes the need for state and federal legislators to address these issues, as any conservation efforts made will be undermined by the continued growth of overgrown forests and invasive salt cedars.

Furthermore, the resolution calls for the eradication of salt cedars and the management of overgrown forests to substantially increase water availability in the Colorado River. It urges Congress to provide funding for these initiatives and directs the Secretary of State to communicate the resolution to key federal officials. The resolution aims to raise awareness and mobilize action to combat the water depletion crisis caused by these environmental challenges.
