Much of the Pacific Northwest watershed continues to see low snow water equivalent levels, especially Oregon and Washington. Drought conditions are impacting water levels and recreation.
On April 8, the Washington Department of Ecology declared a statewide drought. This is the fourth year in a row that part or all of Washington will be under a drought declaration.

"You've got more people that are living in poverty already and if you get a reduction in crop yields because of drought or flooding [from El Niño] then that drives prices even higher. So we're looking at potentially quite huge humanitarian impacts this year, especially if the crisis in the Middle East continues".

In five short weeks, Kevin O’Leary’s Utah version of Wonder Valley has thrown the state into a massive conflict over water, air pollution, heat islands, and the community benefits of AI data centres.
Throw in questions about property rights, accusations of paid protesters, a mysterious Department of War connection, and a Chinese government interference conspiracy…well, you’ve got a story.
Here’s my update on how a Canadian celebrity investor has shaken a US state facing a drought and water crisis.

Was wondering how you would be with the map this week, after your snow.
Ours here in NC no longer show a region of "exceptional" over Charlotte, but the "extreme" is now covering a much larger area.

Last year, the total water used (plus water lost to evaporation) was 3 million acre-feet more than what the river actually carried. That’s possible because the region is drawing heavily from the Colorado’s giant reservoirs, where water levels are dropping.

On Mark Carney's proposed changes to the law (which would allow him to rubber-stamp approval of long-route pipelines before any impact assessments can be completed):
“It’s going to result in a lack of trust, it’s going to result in protests and it’s going to result in lawsuits (…). And that’s going to be a lot slower and it’s going to be a lot more divisive.”

US grocery prices rose in April, but gas spikes weren’t the only reason
Prices for food eaten at home rose 2.9% in April compared to the same month a year earlier, according to government figures released Tuesday. That was the highest year-over-year inflation rate for the category since August 2023.
High gasoline prices led vendors to tack on fuel surcharges recently. Aside from fuel costs, trade policies and extreme weather like drought have also sent prices higher.

Widespread Record US Drought Threatens Rural Livelihoods and Food Affordability
About 61 percent of the continental United States is in some stage of drought as of May 5, especially concentrated in the Southeast, High Plains and Western regions. The 2026 drought has already contributed to an intense early wildfire season and very low surface and shallow groundwater levels in many parts of the country. Now it threatens to collide with the ongoing impacts of the Trump administration’s misguided tariffs and dangerous, illegal war against Iran (which has driven up the costs of fertilizers and energy), to further increase food prices and hurt people’s livelihoods and pocketbooks.
