Droughts occur, worldwide. Currently, there is a drought in Arizona.
Arizona has been in a drought since 1999. So this year marks 15 years. Arizona , is typically a dry hot state. So the government does have reservoirs filled with water. So the state does not suffer lack of water. The water reservoirs also prevent the government from putting any restriction on water usage to preserve water.
The reservoirs provide the comforting thought for Arizona citizens that during a drought there is no lack of water. Although, the reservoirs are filled with the water from precipitation over the years before 1999. So the lack of precipitation in the past 15 years , causes the reservoirs to deplete. The reservoirs are half full.
The state of Arizona, is looking into their future plans. The drought can go for 20-30 years.
Another 15 years such as the last, will end with the reservoirs almost completely depleted.
So plans need to be set in place if the drought does last.
