Yale Environment 360: U.S. officials estimated this week that the Elephant Butte reservoir in southern New Mexico is holding about 65,057 acre-feet of water, which is only about 3 percent of its capacity of 2.2 million acre-feet, largely as a result of prolonged drought conditions and unusually low spring snowmelt from nearby mountains. From the mid-1980s until 2000 the reservoir was nearly filled to capacity, as illustrated in a 1994 satellite image (top) released by NASA.

Although the illness is both easily preventable and treatable, World Health Organization data show that close to 920,000 people in the U.N. agency's Africa region died of diarrheal diseases in 2008.

Prolonged Drought Threatens Western Water Supplies
2013-02-21 22:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: Time is running out to avert a third summer of drought in much of the High Plains, West and Southwest, federal officials warned Thursday. Without repeated, significant bouts of heavy snow and rain in the remaining days of winter, a large part of the country will face serious water supply shortages this spring and summer, when temperatures are hotter and average precipitation is normally low.
