Drought in the Colorado River Basin

From NASA's Earth Observatory:




Drought in the Colorado River Basin

On Discover's ImaGeo blog, Tom Yulsman has posted a story about "the other big drought story you need to pay attention to." Here's how Yulsman leads off his story: "With California’s scary, record-breaking drought capturing so much attention lately, an important bit of news about the dearth of water across a much larger region has gotten short shrift. I’m talking about the Colorado River Basin, which supplies water to 40 million people in seven states — including Californians." The image above, acquired by Landsat 8, shows Lake Powell on March 13, 2014.
