The worst drought in 1500 years is parching the region and its main lifeline, the Colorado River, which supplies water to 40 million people and helps grow America’s salad bowl. Hotter and drier is the new norm—even in winter—leaving landscapes thirstier. Water is now being sold on open markets, like a commodity, making some worry it will outprice many, while others argue it will prevent wasteful uses, specifically with agriculture. The Central Arizona Project carries water 336 miles uphill, across the desert to Phoenix and Tucson from the Colorado River.
