Commissar SFLUFAN Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 First-ever water shortage declared for Lake Mead, the country's largest reservoir - ABC News ABCNEWS.GO.COM Federal officials have declared a shortage in Lake Mead, the largest reservoir in the country, amid a historic decadeslong megadrought in the region. Quote Federal officials have declared a shortage in Lake Mead, the largest reservoir in the country that serves tens of millions of residents in the West and northern Mexico, amid a historic decadeslong "megadrought" in the region. The Bureau of Reclamation announced the first-ever water shortage for the lower Colorado River basin on Monday, which will prompt a reduction in water releases to Arizona, Nevada and Mexico in 2022 to make sure there is enough water in the reservoir to keep generating power and provide water for essential uses. Lake Mead will be under a Tier 1 shortage, meaning that starting next year, Arizona will receive about 18% less water from the Colorado River than in a typical year. Nevada's water allowance will be reduced by about 7%, and Mexico's by about 5%, according to the Bureau of Reclamation. States, local agencies, tribes and water users will negotiate which users see the most reductions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b_m_b_m_b_m Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 I like the idea of a lawn, I hate mowing. It's the only part of my home I hate. I'm thinking next spring talking to my extension office and seeing what native plants I can put in cause this shit suuuuucks.

Rain falls on peak of Greenland ice cap for first time on record | Greenland | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM Precipitation was so unexpected, scientists had no gauges to measure it, and is stark sign of climate crisis Quote Rain has fallen on the summit of Greenland’s huge ice cap for the first time on record. Temperatures are normally well below freezing on the 3,216-metre (10,551ft) peak, and the precipitation is a stark sign of the climate crisis. Scientists at the US National Science Foundation’s summit station saw rain falling throughout 14 August but had no gauges to measure the fall because the precipitation was so unexpected. Across Greenland, an estimated 7bn tonnes of water was released from the clouds. The rain fell during an exceptionally hot three days in Greenland when temperatures were 18C higher than average in places. As a result, melting was seen in most of Greenland, across an area about four times the size of the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
