Description

Water is becoming an even more precious natural resource in the drought-stricken areas of the USA. The population growth in the southwest coupled with less average rain over a span of years is starting to stress many towns that at one time would have never believed they'd ever have a shortage of water. This image was taken in southwest Colorado, where they have water enough for now.
