@BillyIdol @Interior The major issue is Farming in the desert, isn’t it? Agriculture will have to shift to more localized production all across the USA, and folks just don’t want to admit it or invest in the shift

Roughly one in 10 Americans gets their water from the Colorado River. But the river is drying up due to a persistent drought driven in part by climate change. The crisis has been building for decades, but will likely come to a head this summer, as the past winter was brutally warm. The heavy snow that was supposed to fall on the Mountain West and slowly melt, sending water down into rivers and reservoirs, never happened. "Simply put, the basin is not producing the water supply that all of our states anticipated decades ago," California Natural Resources Secretary Wade Crowfoot told Horizons host William Brangham. "So we all anticipated and planned for and built infrastructure to use more water than is currently available." The Colorado River has slipped to record low levels, threatening the water supply for 40 million people across seven western states — Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, Arizona, California and Nevada. But the crisis is not just about water; it's also about electricity. Lake Powell and Lake Mead, two reservoirs on the river, are also nearing record lows. The man-made lakes generate hydroelectric power for millions. In February, the seven Colorado River basin states failed to reach a new agreement on how to share the river's dwindling resources. The federal government is threatening to impose its own plan. Joel Ferry, the commissioner of Utah's Department of Natural Resources, called it a "solvable problem," and said the seven state governors are working with the federal government to find solutions. "Ultimately, this is something that both our political leaders and the water users have got to come together to find a creative solution," he said.
