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.

- kittycat1000약 3년Save water!!!!! Did you know that one person can waste as much as 20,000 gallons of water in one month? Allot of people take about a 20 minute shower every night that wastes over 87 gallons of water. And that's just one person! Imagine the hole house! That's will be over 2,000 gallons of water wasted every day.So if we add the hole U.S.A that's over 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 gallons of water. And that's for only one month. And that's a bunch of zeros.

- mhanna약 3년This is a very important subject considering the colorado river spans so far, that so many people will be affected due to the drought. They need to come to an agreement as soon as possible or else the people who use the river for electricity, water and other things will be forced to either move or have no water and electricity until the situation is resolved.
