Western water evaporation
WASHINGTON — More than 10% of the water carried by the Colorado River evaporates, runs out, or spills as the West’s 1,450-mile powerhouse flows through the region’s dams, reservoirs, and open-air canals. Key stewards of the river ignored this massive water loss for decades, instead allocating their share of the river to Arizona, California, Nevada, and Mexico without subtracting evaporative loss. Hydrologists, state officials and other Western water experts say the 10% can no longer be ignored. By Suman Naishadham. SENT: 870 words, photos.

In contrast, the South added 1.3 million new residents, and six of the 10 fastest growing US states over the past year were in the South. We provide story localization resources and suggestions.

OPIOID CRISIS NALOXONE — Access to an emergency drug that reverses opioid overdoses has improved in the US, but advocates say naloxone — commonly known by its brand name Narcan — still isn’t reaching all who need it. A small group of volunteers runs what appears to be the largest distributor of naloxone in Albany, Georgia. But many municipalities lack similar structures. Public health experts are telling US state and local government officials responsible for using opioid settlement funds to consider putting more naloxone into the hands of people who use drugs and those around them. In some places, it’s mostly about first responders. By Geoff Mulvihill and Sharon Johnson. SENT: 1,260 words, photos, video.
MEMPHIS POLICE INVESTIGATION — A police spokeswoman said a sixth Memphis Police Department officer has been fined for his part in the brutal caning and arrest of Tire Nichols.

Memphis Police Department spokeswoman Karen Rudolph did not disclose Hemphill’s role in the arrest. Rudolph said that information about Hemphill’s disciplinary action was not immediately released because Hemphill was not fired and the department normally releases information about officers who are released from duty upon the completion of an investigation.
