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.
