このコンテンツについて
Water scarcity and drought remain serious concerns, especially in the western states. The U.S. Drought Monitor highlights persistent and intensifying drought across Arizona and New Mexico, with Extreme and Exceptional Drought declared in large parts of these states and the Navajo Nation. The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service reports that runoff from mountain snowpack is well below normal for rivers feeding Lake Mead, which is currently at only thirty-one percent of capacity. While most major reservoirs in California stand above historical averages, parts of the Sierra Nevada expect below-normal runoff, raising alarms for surface water supplies and fire risks during the hot summer months.
In the Midwest, the Missouri River Basin is facing similarly dry conditions. According to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, June runoff was much lower than forecast due to rapid snowmelt and below-normal precipitation, resulting in reduced river flow support for navigation and an expectation of continued dryness through July.
Flood events are also in focus as climate volatility increases. Governing magazine notes that floods are becoming more common across the country, yet much of the nation’s water infrastructure is ill prepared to cope. Bipartisan support for resilience investment is emerging, with South Carolina recently approving new funding for flood data collection and watershed coordination. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce now estimates that every dollar invested in pre-disaster resilience yields thirteen dollars in savings from avoided damages.
Meanwhile, on the global stage, water security and innovation remain priorities. International conferences, from the WaterEnergyNEXUS in Abu Dhabi to the International Conference on Water Reclamation and Reuse, are highlighting urgent needs for new strategies in response to climate change and rapid urbanization. These events reinforce the growing consensus that water reuse and advanced management are not merely options, but necessities for a secure future.
