Bodies of water all over North America are drying up as a result of drought and a decrease in precipitation, experts told ABC News.
Earlier this year, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicted that the 22-year megadrought affecting the West would not only intensify but also move eastward.
That prediction appears to be coming into fruition, with about 82% of the continental U.S. currently showing conditions between abnormally dry and exceptional drought, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor.+ And while the U.S. and North America continue to witness water levels dropping in crucial rivers, lakes and reservoirs, a mixture of climate change and poor water management policies are causing similar events all over the world, experts told ABC News.
"Rivers all over the world are running really low," especially the Tigress and Euphrates Rivers in Iraq, as well as significant bodies of water in countries like Italy, Romania, France and China, Jonathan Deason, professor of the Environmental and Energy Management Program at George Washington University

Ah, shut up!
Irrigation to grow more food? Tens of millions pouring into our country require more and more food.
“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed
and hence clamorous to be led to safety
by an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary.”

“Bodies of water all over North America are drying up due to drought, climate change: Experts”
it’s true ... i personally know this for a fact because i have to refill my birdbath every couple of days because it keeps drying up ...
Incidentally, as I was not too far away, I stopped by the Olmsted Lock and Dam on the Ohio River, but on the KY side, a few days ago. Even the Ohio River really is very low, as low as I can recall. Dredging at Paducah (I pass every week or two, where I-24 goes over the Ohio River) has been ongoing at a furious rate recently. If the ACE can't keep the Ohio open, that's another big hit to transportation costs.
2nd Peter 3:3 Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts, 4 and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation.”
All is spiritual and God will not be mocked.
It is you who needs to get a grip.
Well, yes. Or at least a "regional climate cycle". But, careful -- that one humans most certainly affected for the worse. See my post above.
Oh Lordy, The planet was supposed to done before I got out of college.
Don't forget the acid rain that was supposed to kill the planet.
You’re correct, I don’t buy the climate change hoax. No sale.☺
Oh please……
nice comeback ;)
I know.
The hole in the ozone layer killed all life on earth.
Our hummingbirds disappeared for about a month, but they are back in normal numbers now. No idea what happened.
It’s the UFO’s stealing all our water for their home planet!!!111
Could it possibly be that the human population has grown trendously over the years and that nobody planned on how to meet an increasing demand?
Yeah. I guess it got fixed when the acid rain went away!
Or is this the consequence of already doing just that?
Whoa buster!!!!!! I live in Eastern NC and it’s water, water everywhere - creek water, swamp water, river water, sound water, ocean water - and none of it is drying up!!
I still remember when the drought in the 1960s caused the Everglades to dry up. Everyone was then praying for a hurricane to re wet them.
