The Colorado River, which provides water to 40 million Americans, has been suffering from a drought for nearly 20 years. Recently, new emails obtained by the Associated Press show that states along the river are at an impasse about how to share the dwindling water supply. NBC’s Hallie Jackson reports.

The Day of judgement What will it be like video https://youtu.be/ttviqvfTBTg
Everyone repent of your sins and turn to Jesus, for by grace are ye saved through faith that not that of yourselves it is the gift of God. Ephesians 2:8
Let's talk about the California agriculture deals they had internationally… Cultivate in California with said water and ship out the goods produced.
This is going to get VERY interesting. I hope everyone has a means to take care, truly.
Six states have an agreement but California is refusing because California sucks!
Stay away from our great lakes
Whatever happened to that $6B that CA allocated in 2014 to building reservoirs to catch rain water? It definitely didn’t get spent on its purpose as the state let 35T gallons of water run off into the ocean last month.
You peasants better get your water somewhere else
Those pictures are alarming.
This new updated agreement only makes logical sense.
If you are not growing food in your frontyard instead of grass, you will die of starvation in 2030. When California does not have the water to grow your food, you are dead. California grows more than 60% of America's Produce. If you wait until food scarcity starts to plant a garden that can feed your family, it will be too late. They won't have any seeds for sale because everyone will buy them like in 2020. Its your choice, keep your grass lawn and face Starvation or grow food like a smart person
Goodluck in California growing things with wishes, an dreams…
Desalination is the only answer
Just cut water to San Francisco in Cali. The city was literally built on top of a desert. God never designed it to receive its own fresh water
Government coming for the water.. We should start to worry
Cut off Arizona entirely, nobody should be living in a desert
Well I suppose it's bottled water for the lawn this summer…
You would need to recreate maneous of square miles of lakes and river deposits through the west coast not just to contain water for later usage, but to add humidity to the local area to maintain temperatures and produce more precipitation in the long term, draining the bay area destroyed the local ecosystem and your now reaping what you sewed
Climate change? ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
acre toes would be a better measurement
These too big government idiots just let trillions of gallons flow out to the ocean duh
BS democrats! Bring back the dams this Nepo Newsom Governor destroyed
Any location located in a desert should have its water cut.
this is a great sin against our environment…blessings to all
Too many people in the sun, no one will agree, and the real solution should be to stop using it altogether. But CA doesn't even allow for rain barrels, so they're all in trouble. Like Las Vegas needed an NFL stadium.
I think the solution is building more houses in the desert.
What a dumb situation. Why dont they use desalination and use the ocean 🌊 water? I know it cost money to do desalination, but it has to be considered.
Not a problem for us in arizona, we dont need as much water as those upper class states, all we need is 2 gallons a day for each person in arizona
Couple easy solutions. First, California shouldn't even be drawing from the river. They are ocean adjacent, so make them use desalination plants. Second, all companies and residents shouldn't be allowed to waste water on lawns, fountains, and other useless crap. Third, force big tech to move their water-hogging datacenters to either cutback on water or move out of state.
We're screwed!
Don’t live in a desert. Cheers!
States that need water, can begin by installing basic water catchment and cistern systems on residential buildings. So when it does rain, they actually have a reserve of water distributed throughout the state for at least landscaping, car / house washing purposes etc… Outrageous that the water utility is used for these things. The bonus is that the water being distributed on the properties slowly will allow the soil to accept rain and get it into the water table instead of rushing down streams out of the state..
Second to this, homes should also be installed with grey water systems so that the water can be reused where appropriate. Whether flushing a toilet or going out to a mulch bed around trees. These are very basic things that not only would conserve water, but decrease summer temperatures and increase quality of life. The poorest areas need this done the most and it's a very small investment for the long term impact.
Go figure that more people requires more water 🙄 I'd hate to be part of the generation that has to decide between people and the survival of the planet. That going to be one gnarly war 😆
The river puts out far less than the amount that is allotted and it has just been getting worse. To refill the reservoirs we have to use less than the river gives and that is a big ask at this point. It seems to have taken about 40 years to go from spillway to dead pool.
They said was supposed to be doing this in augest they charge 1600 pear house in my neghborhood alone in september 2022 this is up hill battle erither way
