Dry as a furt in Kansas and Oklahoma. Water runs, creeks have no water in them. Dugouts are empty I am told by snowbirds coming home from Texas.

Lots of pics from California, NO snow in the mountains, reservoirs/rivers nearly dry, looks like game over if irrigation is NOT banned.

Much water comes from the Colorado River.

'The Colorado River Aqueduct, or CRA, is a 242 mi (389 km) water conveyance in Southern California in the United States, operated by the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD). The aqueduct impounds water from the Colorado River at Lake Havasu on the California-Arizona border west across the Mojave and Colorado deserts to the east side of the Santa Ana Mountains. It is one of the primary sources of drinking water for Southern California.'
