Drought has returned with a vengeance across much of the United States, with conditions worsening across the southern and western parts of the nation. Almost 40% of the United States is in a drought, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. Major winter storms have mostly bypassed the West, which means the much-needed snow never made its way to those areas. The Southern Plains have suffered the most from this drought and areas of some states such as Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas and Utah have not seen rainfall in months! The severe drought in these states will undoubtedly result in extreme economic and environmental impacts. 

Some economic impacts include:

• Farmers lose money if a drought destroys their crops or impacts their herds.
• Farmers are forced to drill new wells or spend money on irrigation.
• Ranchers spend more money on feed and water for animals
• Businesses that depend on farmers may lose money because farmers can’t afford supplies because of loss of crops or livestock.

Some environmental impacts include:

• Lack of food and drinking water for wild animals and livestock.
• Increase in disease in animals because of reduced food and water supplies.
• Migration of wildlife.
• Lower water levels in reservoirs, lakes, and ponds.
• More wildfires.
• Poor soil quality.
