The West s megadrought The Week Staff © Provided by The Week California and the Southwest face soaring temperatures, severe drought and a hotter and drier new normal. Here s everything you need to know: What s the current situation? The West is in the midst of a widespread drought emergency of historic intensity. Seventy-two percent of the West is under severe drought conditions, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor, and more than 25 percent is in an exceptional drought, the most extreme category. Many reservoirs are at record lows; last month Lake Mead, which provides water for 25 million people, hit its lowest level since it was filled in the 1930s.

Amid Dire Colorado River Outlook, States Plan to Tap Their Lake Mead Savings Accounts This year and next, Arizona and California intend to draw on water they banked in the big reservoir, even as water levels drop. Lake Mead, the largest reservoir on the Colorado River, is a centerpiece for water supplies in Arizona, California, and Nevada.
