No quote marks there so that could be AFP's error. Can't tell.
Arizona dry and hot? And for 60 years? Impossible. It’s almost like saying the Sahara will be hot and dry “for the forseable future”. Just can’t happen.
And don't forget to stockpile the moisterizees.
I don’t know about the New Mexican part of this, but Denver and other front range cities do have water from the Colorado River pumped in through the Colorado-Big Thompson Project. Most of Colorado’s water is on the opposite side of the Divide from the big cities. So they do pump in a lot of water from the western slope to the east.
When you lose thunderstorms (as we have) you lose nitrogen.
We’ve lost our thunderstorms.
Rain occurs when the water vapor has something in the air to attach to. I submit that the unintended consequences (maybe its intended knowing the demons in D.C.) of obsessive clean air guidelines is to strip the air of any particles so that it rains less. The answer is for California to return to fouling the air, stirring up dust and burning down forests so that it will rain again over the South West
And for Oregon and Washington to fire up the chainsaws and get that dust going up as catalyst for upper air moisture.
Seriously, our plants in our land here are talking to us... it’s like herbicular gridlock, nothing producing. I almost think the plantosphere expected this drought earlier, and went into dormant mode.
I need to get a job as a climatologist. Only job I can think of where I can be wrong 99% of the time and not get fired.
Maybe they should have learned something from the Anasazi ruins and not built in a desert.
Or you could be a politician from some Democrat enclave.

We’ve had no more than a trace since the tropical storm gave us 15 inches in 30 hours. That was back at the end of September here just NW of Austin.
And then again, they might not.
A worst-case scenario devised by US researchers shows that the American southwest could experience a 60-year stretch of heat and drought unseen since the 12th century.Thanks decimon.

Albuquerque has for years depended on groundwater recharged from the Rio Grande to supply the city's needs. Back in the mid 1960's, diversion of water from the San Juan river basin to the Rio Grande river basin was accomplished using a series of dams, tunnels and conduits and the water stored in dams along the Rio Chama. In the past year, Albuquerque has for the first time completed a river collection and treatment system for use of surface water to augment groundwater in the city's water supply.
Can they predict the weather for 2 weeks though?
No, not a screed. Not the article, anyway.
Regardless of any peculiar notions possibly held by the researchers, it looks like sere, sere condition is periodic.
