15 Years of Drought
The West is really at the forefront of water problems in the country. A number of factors coming together. One is drought. The Colorado is now in the 15th year of drought and what we don't know is whether this is the 15th year of a 15 year drought or the 15th year of a 50 year drought. Add into that, climate change. The scientists are pretty well agreed that that's gonna have adverse consequences for the Colorado River in particular. And, population growth.
