Megadrought on the Colorado River Devastating Farmers

August 17, 2022 • by DailyClout

From The Gazette, Colorado Springs – PINAL COUNTY, ARIZ. • Colorado River basin water has transformed Nancy Caywood’s fields in the desert southwest of Phoenix into carpets of green cotton and alfalfa for generations. But this Summer the alfalfa was expected to dry up, and a vast majority of the cotton wasn’t even planted.

The irrigation canal that serves her property was recently shut down amid a 22-year megadrought that has hurt growers across the seven states that comprise the basin.

And after western US states failed to reach agreements to reduce water use from the beleaguered Colorado River, the federal government stepped in on Tuesday, issuing cuts that will affect two states and Mexico, reports The Guardian.

Officials with the Bureau of Reclamation declared a “tier 2” shortage in the river basin as the drought continues to pummel the west.

“The system is approaching a tipping point,” the Bureau of Reclamation commissioner, M Camille Calimlim Touton, said during a news conference on Tuesday, adding that urgent action was required.

The new cuts will reduce Arizona’s water share by 21%, Nevada’s by 8% and Mexico’s by 7%, but officials are concerned more reductions will be needed. The cuts will place officials in those states under extraordinary pressure.

    and we need to know- who is responsible for the drought- and the geoengineering- and ‘pushing’ the water and sinking and storing the water- my guess- black rock/blackstone/vanguard is helping to drive this insanity:
    who is black rock and where are they? Biden selected Brian Deese, global head of sustainable investing at BlackRock, to lead his National Economic Council. Deese previously served as a senior adviser to President Barack Obama and Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.Former BlackRock global chief investment strategist and former Obama official Michael Pyle now serves as chief economic adviser to Vice President Kamala Harris .Another top Biden administration official, Deputy Treasury Secretary Adewale Adeyemo, previously served as chief of staff to BlackRock CEO Fink. States Warn BlackRock to Stop Pushing Political Agenda
