Michael Snyder: The California State Water Resources Control Board says that nearly 50 communities are already on the verge of running out of water.
Climate scientist Tim Barnett says that the water situation in Las Vegas "is as bad as you can imagine", and he believes that unless the city "can find a way to get more water from somewhere" it will soon be "out of business" .. Rob Mrowka of the Center for Biological Diversity believes that the city of Las Vegas is going to be forced to downsize because of the lack of water...
According to Accuweather, "more than a decade of drought" along the Colorado River has set up an "impending Southwest water shortage" which could ultimately affect tens of millions of people.
Farmers in California are allowing nearly half a million acres to lie fallow this year due to the extreme lack of water.
Things are so dry in California right now that people are actually starting to steal water. For example, one Mendocino County couple recently had 3,000 gallons of water stolen from them. It was the second time this year that they had been hit.
National Weather Service meteorologist Eric Boldt says that this is "the worst drought we probably have seen in our lifetime".
