Parts of Long Island now in severe drought

Parts of Long Island are now joining Putnam and Dutchess counties in what's considered a severe drought due to very little rainfall, which creates a fire danger. CBS2's Carolyn Gusoff reports.

The problem is that there's nobody stopping people to waste all the water they need for unnecessary things. It's not like they will go to jail or fined for it, so they are allowed to do whatever they want with their water supply which to them is endless. I don't know how that will be regulated, especially since America is a "free country" for that matter.

We've been in a draught for twenty years in Los Angeles, California!

Last week that wind scared me, I thought for sure there was going to be brush fires, I even took a drive around the area to keep an eye out since I live dead smack in the pine barrens.

I already predicted a possible threat of drought was going to come to the state. There has not been as much rain like normally, so I knew this was happening.

Just another excuse to raise the water prices

The end of the world is coming, And I would not laugh about it. We are all doomed!

How hard is it to connect Upstate Reservior water to Long Island

[homeplanet]

The question no longer seems to be who is low on water but who isn't. It is almost like the Earth itself is claiming the water and turning it into thin air.🌀🌍💧🌎💧🌏🌀
