The Colorado River provides water and electricity to about 40 million people (Credit: Paul Hermans,/ CC BY-SA 3.0 /Wikimedia Commons)

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.

                    Saving water won't help anything. they've been telling us to save water when in reality the water goes to another place water can't just disappear because its scientifically impossible. droughts are caused by severe heat and precipitation whenever there's a drought in one place there's flooding in other's because of all the water that's being moved.

                  I personally don't know what to say because this is happening on the other side of the US. I do feel however that action has to happen soon and the states need to come to an agreement on what is to happen. Who knows? The drought might affect us here in VA. You never know.
