This first blog will talk about the Colorado River water crisis. So I’m going to talk about the causes of the river current problems and why it is important to the western parts of the United States.
The Colorado River has one main cause of its current state. These causes are that it has had a terrible drought for the last fourteen years which has also nearly unrivaled in 1,250 years. also this drought has had soaring tempertures over one hundred ten evaporating water from the river and its reservoirs. So with the reservoirs depleted due to the fourteen year drought it has a hard time or can’t provide water for irrigation and other needs for water for the seven states it provides for.
Now why is the Colorado River is so important to the western parts of the United States. Its because as I said earlier it provides water for irrigation and other needs for water for the seven states it provides for. These seven states that depend on the Colorado River to provide for are California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Wyoming. So if you were to look at the news for some of these states you will more likely see something that the drought has affect and sone to these states.
So after going through why the Colorado River is in its current state and why it is important to the western parts of the United States we should all try to figure resourceful way to conserve and protect our nation water and fix what issues we have currently .
