President Joe Biden nominated Camille Touton, a veteran congressional water policy adviser, to lead the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, which oversees water in 17 western states and power in 13. If confirmed, Touton will be a central figure in negotiations among several states over the future of the Colorado River. The Nevada native would succeed Brenda Burman, who now works for an Arizona entity managing a canal system that delivers Colorado River water to the state's most populous areas. Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming and Mexico all rely on the river that flows from the Rocky Mountains into the Gulf of California.
