The 1,450-mile-long Colorado River and its tributaries snake through seven states and two nations — the US and Mexico. They provide water and electricity to about 40 million people in Arizona, California, Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming, and Utah. The country's sixth largest river also irrigates 4 to 5 million acres of farmland in the Southwest.

            Well, that sucks. It sucks even MORE after I realized that this affects where I live and Arizona itself. The worst part is, I saw that rain water isn't drinkable.

              My family has a houseboat on lake Powell and if the water level keeps going down we are going to lose our share I can’t wait for it to start raining again..
