quote from Environmental energy study institute:
Over half of the Colorado River's water is used for irrigated agriculture; 37% is used in urban areas and to support natural vegetation.
end quote.
It was said on the news that many farmers likely will have to go out of business in Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Arizona and California because there just isn't enough water for metropolitan areas of those states and farmers to share now.
And this is likely to get worse over the next few years it is predicted too.
