Experts Say Colorado River Deal Fails to Solve Long-Term Problems
Experts Say Colorado River Deal , Fails to Solve Long-Term Problems.
Experts have warned that a hard-fought agreement
between California, Arizona and Nevada to cut the use of
the Colorado River won't solve the long-term water crisis.
'The Guardian' reports that experts say the new deal,
announced on May 22, is only a temporary solution to
a problem that threatens life in the American west.
The agreement will see the three states cut
water consumption from the dwindling river
by 13% over the next three years if adopted.
The deal is reportedly backed by $1.2 billion in
federal funds and encourages voluntary reductions
made in exchange for government grant money.
'The Guardian' reports that the deal
comes after months of missed
deadlines and stagnant negotiations.
.
However, experts warn that the measure
is not enough to prevent the existential
threat posed by the Colorado River.
.
Following years of over-allocation to meet the
needs of a rapidly expanding U.S. west, the region
is now facing unprecendented global warming.
.
'The Guardian' reports that the American west
is facing a "megadrought' that is the worst
the region has experienced in 1,200 years.
The Colorado River supports 40 million people, including
the populations of Los Angeles and Denver, while
also supplying water for millions of acres of cropland.

This deal is clearly a Band-Aid

Itβs better than nothing, but we are
just putting off a much more dramatic
change needed to resolve this problem.

NOAA Issues Rare , Warning Following Powerful , Solar Event.
CBS reports that a severe G4 geomagnetic storm
headed towards Earth has triggered a rare warning
from NOAA officials for the first time in two decades.
The warning comes following days of solar activity
that sent several waves of plasma in Earth's
direction along with powerful magnetic fields.
G4 storms are the second-strongest
type of geomagnetic storms and can
cause widespread voltage problems. .
NOAA warns that they can also cause some
protective assets to "trip out key assets from the grid,"
as well as cause orientation problems for spacecraft. .
If geomagnetic storms
were hurricanes, 'severe'
would be category 4. , Spaceweather.com, via CBS.
The powerful G4 storm could also cause
northern lights, or aurora borealis, to be seen
in northern California and as far south as Alabama.
In a May 9 press release, NOAA said that the solar
event began on May 8, when a group of sunspots
generated "several moderate to strong solar flares.".
According to NASA, solar flares are explosions of
radiation which are considered the strongest
explosive events in the solar system.
NOAA noted that the area, which
produced the recent flares, is roughly
16 times the diameter of the Earth.
The sunspots known as AR3664 measures about 124,000
miles across, and Space.com notes that it is one of the, "largest and most active
sunspots seen this solar cycle." .
According to NOAA, the geomagnetic storm
is expected to hit Earth as early as midday
on May 10 and continue through May 12
