2013-02-06 21:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Public Radio: Epic water battles are the stuff of history and legend, especially in the West. And as a severe drought drags on in the Midwest, a water war is being waged over a river that irrigates agriculture in Colorado, Nebraska and Kansas. It's that last border crossing where this water war is under way. Kansas has gone to the Supreme Court to argue that Nebraska uses too much water from the Republican River, and that there's not enough left for Kansas farmers. In Clifton, Kan., on the short end of the...

Climate Central: People all across the West, Plains and Southeast continued to hold their breath this week, as another seven days of below-average precipitation and above-average temperatures brought little to no reprieve to the historic drought conditions that have plagued these areas since early last spring. Some areas, such as Texas and Georgia, have been suffering from drought since early 2011. Conditions deteriorated in several places this week, according to the updated U.S. Drought Monitor released on Thursday....
