Well The 3 Stooges - anymore curses!?
In southwestern United States, the water level of the Colorado River has dropped to historic lows amid a drought that has lasted 23 years.
The river is more than 2300 kilometers (1,450 miles) long and runs through a number of western states and into Mexico.
U.S. federal officials have announced a Tier 2 water shortagefor the iconic river. Starting in January, the government will impose cuts in water deliveries to Nevada (8%) and Arizona (21%), and also Mexico (7%).
The Colorado River Basin is very important to the U.S. southwest. The river provides water to 40 million people in California, Arizona, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Nevada. Of these, California gets the most water from the river.
The shrinking level of the Colorado River, along with rising temperatures and depleting groundwater supplies, has led to a severe drought in California.
