Southwest Faces Severe Drought Conditions

MARBLE CANYON, AZ - AUGUST 31: Tourists stop in the highway on the historic Navajo Bridge to look down at the Colorado River on August 31, 2022 in Marble Canyon, Arizona. The federal government has proposed an unprecedented plan to cut back on water supplies from the Colorado River for Arizona, Nevada and California, where millions of people rely on the river for water and power. Climate change-driven drought continues to lower water levels at Lake Powell, the second biggest reservoir in the nation, to historically low levels. (Photo by David McNew/Getty Images)
