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

Not to worry. 2022 will be a busy year of monster hurricanes drenching the US. Because of climate change.
Of course it causes giant rainstorms also.
Causes anything and everything, like a god.
It must be appeased by green religion and self-denial.
Your self-denial, imposed on you.
Excellent!
Fewer "Wetlands" for the EPA to steal from private landowners.
So I guess the seas won’t be rising because of evaporation form the heat and a lack of water from rivers pouring into the ocean.
The Great Plains and Mississippi River corridor have experienced a number of severe drought events in the last 100 years, including droughts of the early 1930s, 1988, and 2012. The drought of 2012 was among the most damaging.
1930 and 1988 climate change? Asking for a friend
Of course, in the West, the excessive and growing water usage from California has nothing to do with it.
Meanwhile, in Northern Michigan:

Just wait until those 18 inches of snow melt.
More climate propaganda. The chart for all the Great Lakes is the same.
Three la niña episodes in rapid succession lead to prolonged dry spell in the air over North America. Torrential rains with flooding elsewhere. Weather is what weather does.
Gee - drought dries things up. Whoda thunk it?
Gretta will save us!
The big rains are coming and we will have too much water.
Always the conflation of natural climate change and the notion that humanity is influencing the climate in a negative way.
About a third of the country’s population doesn’t belong here so we could send them back and save the welfare and water.
I have been feeding them for years in the same feeder and they have disappeared for a few days at a time. I figured some local crop is temporarily available and they've gone to nosh on it.
This time, though, it's been weeks. Actually, over 3 weeks now.
Perhaps the only thing that will bail out the New England states that have mismanaged balance sheets and horrible policies is the fact that there is plenty of water.
Hydrologic studies have concluded that the low water level in the Colorado River is due almost entirely to massive drawdowns for irrigation. Same for the rivers feeding the shrinking Great Salt Lake.. Some modest elevation of water loss through evaporation into drier than normal skies which by itself would be no problem.
Well, Biden can just issue an executive order expanding the EPA's purview to dry lands as well. That will cover that handily.
