The first ever federal water shortage declaration for the Colorado River

So if the Colorado wasn't having water pumped out of it would this even be an issue?

It sounds like the southwest is pumping more water out of the Colorado than it can give. How exactly is that the fault of someone in the Midwest where they don't even use irrigation on their farms?

Also the bible belt isn't in the Midwest. And fossil fuels are only important to 2 Midwest states, the Dakotas, where no one lives. Or where you referring to use of fossil fuels in ag equipment? Because I don't exactly think that separates them from any other state in the country.

You sound pretty pissed off at these people and you don't seem to know anything about them. Why would they care about you? You obviously don't care about them.
