The Colorado River provides water and electricity for over 40 million people. But so much water is withdrawn from this river for agriculture/livestock and drinking water, that very little of it reaches the sea. Due to drought and overuse, it currently is drying up. This will be a major problem because crops and livestock in the USA depend on this water. What percent of the nation's crops and livestock rely on the river's water?​
