Colorado River Drying Up Fast | Spokane News

The Colorado River’s headwaters are drying up permanently, not just due to a bad year but a decades-long trend of aridification fueled by climate change. Less snowpack means plummeting reservoir levels, threatening water and power supplies for seven western states—with California bearing the brunt. Farmers and ranchers are already cutting back, selling livestock, and facing economic collapse. Scientists confirm rising temperatures are accelerating the crisis, and federal intervention may soon be unavoidable as state negotiations stall. This isn’t just a regional emergency—it’s a global warning, forcing tough choices about the future of agriculture and water in the American Southwest.
