- The entire state of Utah is in a drought. The Great Salt Lake is on track to reach its lowest level in modern history and it's only expected to get worse this summer. Farmers are concerned for their livelihood and while experts point to climate change, the state's governor calls for prayer. Jonathan Vigliotti reports.

I'm in Utah and I can tell you the government isn't leading by example. When you have government buildings and parks watering at 1 in the afternoon for hours.
Utah Sucks!
Prayer.
@@larryames8831 Yes, because thought and prayers always work, NOT!!!
@@user-ro4kj3ud1k Let’s be clear, Republican Government caused the problem in Utah!!!
The government is asking God for help. That, is tremendously pathetic. I get there is a heavy religious population in Utah, but ffs. To each their own on religion, but water is FACTUAL and NEEDED. And I'm sorry, it's needed more than a belief in a god. If this man isn't voted out, Utah is getting what they deserve.
And I say that as a current Florida resident who is getting tf out of here. This state is the definition of bassackwards.
I find it silly that the states with desert climates complain about shortage of water but there are lawns in residential areas and golf courses there…with real grass.
When you live in the Desert make your Lawn a Desert Lawn like Cactus that don't require much water like Grass for Golf Courses. Gotta have them Golf Courses in the Desert because that's Ignorant Man at work. And the Owners of Nestles should be shot on site.
Well it’s sad because they politicians blame this on climate change when they are using more water then ever mainly for stupid things like you say and still salt lake isn’t at its lowest water level
@@emiltrees nestle gets their water from Michigan- as a Michigander, I don’t mind. We have been dealing with flooding and high water levels the past couple years
St George in southern Utah doesn't even have penalties for "mandatory" watering restrictions. Relying on hopes and prayers again instead of actually doing something.
@@jacobbwalters8133 Michigan is not UT, what are you even talking about???
Dust bowl.
Stock market crash.
Great depression.
History repeats because we do not learn its lessons.

If this were history repeating, that would be one kind of problem. This isn't that kind of problem, this is a long-term issue caused by global heating. Warm up a planet, things change, like an accelerated hydrologic cycle, loss of soil moisture, mountain snow packs melting away too quickly in the spring...
@@xchopp you're missing the point...
God tryna Wake us up We Come to Repentance Hear The Gospel Believe it and Get saved
Naw with how much tech we got it isn’t gonna happen and history repeats itself if we forget it I don’t think this is how it happened back then and we got a lot more money and power.
It’s like this now, imagine 10-20 more years.
Like we can survive that long, psh.
It'll be stagnating

This is what they are trying to cover up with saying it’s just climate change blame climate change meanwhile they are abusing their own water resources at all time highs people want to create the Amazon in the desert just sad
@@fuzzytop4746
"Fun" fact: it's both. ..and the type of people stealing water for their pleasure are the ones stalling climate action for profit.
Scientist have warned this would happen for years and everyone ignored them.
(1.2k nice)
Just like Texas
Ppl are stupid
Like everything else getting worse in the world
The great salt lake still hasn’t even reached its 5 year lowest level how is that climate change
And if the climate was really changing as you should know matter doesn’t just disappear increased temperatures would increase evaporation and therefore increase rainfall
Utah, Stop building golf courses in the desert
Elitist Utah ain't changing. The mo's run this place. And they love golf and diet cokes.
Utahrds won’t listen 😂
@@randomexploring541 😂😂😂
Good point. Lawns in general take the most water in this country.
They obviously wanna run out of water, pretty clear as they keep wasting it needlessly.
this is why every house should have a rain harvesting system
What if you have a well going through
@@angelg2798 a well will only do so much. Ground water is also being depleted because the rate it is being drawn up is faster than the recharge rate. It isn’t a infinite resource but finite. In some areas it is illegal to harvest rain waiter because it is needed to recharge the aquifers
It's illegal in a lot of dry states or they limit it a lot
@@Shiftheads well not exactly the only states it’s illegal anymore in is Colorado and Utah and I expect Utah to change that after this
A drought means it's not raining
Australians have no more than a thousand people in their deserts in any one community. Americans decide to build about five LAs in ours. It's almost like we lack common sense.

Well when you have lawns and golf courses in the desert it doesn’t exactly make it easy.
@@ladylaurus8493 then maybe people should stop building more lawns and golf courses in the desert
@@lolom8772 I think they should do more than that. I think they should either replace them with that fake stuff that looks like grass or in the case of residential areas, replace the lawns with rock and native plant gardens.
@@ladylaurus8493 I think that’s a great idea
Islam called that there will be more droughts , here's your proof
Almost like there is climate change or something. Imagine Utah in 20 years.
yep, the water is not coming back.
As in uninhabitable
20-30 years ago Utah was facing the same thing
And more and more people are using its resources in the middle of the desert
No surprise islam says that at end of times droughts will happen , here's your proof
They want to pray now after ignoring the science for decades? Well, we all will learn this year that we cannot ignore nature and science.
You know droughts happen in deserts right? You climate hysterics are rediculous.
nature and science told me to tell you to tell you and your friends who have lawns you water that your part of the problem. also they said if you wash your car. also if you have a dish washer and washing machine. basically they said stop wasting water cause nature and science.
if its so scientifically factual how come those same elites telling you to change keep buying beach front property and have multiple houses along with planes they day trip across country in while not telling amazon to stop adding to the "crisis" by their horrific next day shipping of unnecessary junk we don't need?
don't be so blind and dumb and mock your fellow citizen cause you are only showing yourself to be a very useful idiot to the elite who see u as a useless consumer who is expandable once the agenda 2030is properly set in place
And ignore god those who ignore god by disregarding praying and worried more about money which is evil by greed they will be marked by the beast and reap his demons that helped sow that sead.
@@MTurner504 you're using a very extreme example. you think this man is a "useful idiot" for elites? how can you say that when there is irrefutably proof for years now? we need less youtube warriors and more understanding.

"When agriculture is gone and our ability to produce food is gone, that's what scares me" my stomach just sank and I'm in NY

@@sparkysmalarkey oh well that guy made it seem really dramatic
@@speedracer8724 I'm sure it is, for him. Telling everyone they will starve is how farmers get people to care about their profits. The cost of his unsustainable business is coming due, and he does not want to pay it.
I am so sorry for this farmer, and worry about our food supply as well.
Agriculture actually doesn't mean growing crops.
Raising animals, if managed properly, can actually regenerate the soil so that it can hold more water, cool the land (which counteracts the greenhauseeffect) and let the vegetation grow for a long period of time (which seqeust more carbon).
We all should be eating much less plant-based food and eat more regenerativelly produced meat!
See the "holistic management" of Allan Savory. (And see the talks of Walter Jehne here on UA-cam to understand the importance of a healthy soil for the climate!)
We’ve been depriving Mexico of ANY water from the Colorado river for years, but it’s only an emergency if we run out of it.
It's only important when it affects "me"
@invalid username and America isn't?
@invalid username I feel like Mexico should just give it’s country to the United States and then we can call it the United States of Mexico and maybe we can do something about their insane geographical location that they use for drugs
@@fuzzytop4746 I feel like you shouldn’t speak on things you know nothing about
Libertarian values right there.
This is what happens when you try to build infrastructure in a desert
Yeah, especially when more of our country is becoming a desert every year.
Not really its what happens when you don't conserve nature
I just drove through Las Vegas a month ago and it makes me sick. They just keep building and building and building and all we’re doing is depleting our reservoirs. We’re not getting enough rain to replenish it. Pray for rain!
Native Americans, Middle Easterners and other cultures have built cities in deserts going back thousands of years. The key is to build sustainable and traditional in the desert. But here in America we just build for cars
@@dustywaxhead yeah, they have their own issues with water as well now though. Also goat overgrazing destroying the local water retaining plants. It’s a pretty complicated system over there.
“We need divine intervention.” An idiot’s prayer after they’ve ignored climate change science for decades.

Start praying, let’s rely on magic instead of actually doing something constructive.
I don't know if you're being sarcastic or what, but if you're actually serious then it worries me for the sake of humanity. Instead of pray which is a mental thing, why don't you take action , eg. use less water (aka eat less meat) among other things.
@@halfspeed1567 Yes, that was sarcasm.
@@melindaunknown6411 Phew :)
Better to do something because God is drawing his protection on America.
Get used to the idea of continuous drought. New farming techniques (such as drip irrigation) will help offset reduced water availability. As for me, I'll be conserving water by drinking more beer instead.
Hate to break it to you, but beer is made from water.
@@stefanfrankel8157 You are referring to Bud Lite. I'm an IPA man myself. Made with choice hops, barley and snake spit.
Only logical solution!
It's a brilliant plan, since with all the Mormons in Utah, you won't have to share. More beer for you.
@@yelloweyeball Ummmmm.... Beer.
The real problem is that people refuse to be proactive. They don't worry about a problem until it's too late.
Utah is a desert… maybe we should stop redirecting water to deserts to grow food… 🤦🏻♂️ i know, common sense is very unpopular
Not actually a desert. That's Arizona.
@@hayesjk11 the majority of the land in Utah is desert. Just like Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, and large sections of Colorado,California and Texas. I lived in the desert in Idaho, near the Utah border. A desert is determined by lack of rainfall, nothing else.
Unfortunately 80% of the world is slow
Maybe we should stop reproducing at an exponential rate, so nature can catch back up! More people need more food, water, clothes, roofs, PlayStations, and of course the latest iPhone model and $1,000 pair of sneakers.
@@BigBootyBass96 no, less than HALF of the US voted for trump, so there’s still hope for a little more than half of us.
People: We need lots of rain!!
Mother Nature: wish granted.(basically a monsoon)
People: we don't need that much rain!
Mother Nature: make up your minds.
We need to regenerate the soil so that it can HOLD the water for a prolonged period of time.
The ONLY way to do that is to let the animals like COWS graze the pastures and manage it in a way that mimics the nature. See the "hollistic management" of Allan Savory.
To do this we HAVE TO EAT LESS PLANTS.
EAT MEAT, SAVE THE PLANET!

Yeah Colorado is already in trouble too. It's crazy that only now these things are being announced as a big deal when Colorado has been in a "severely extreme drought" for over a year now

@Awesome Randomguy the central valley where they grow crops in CA was natural marshland
I get you guys think it is dumb, but when the rest of the country is in winter, all the crops come in from the west.
I love this. The anchors are like “poor farmers.” They do know that the vast majority of farming is done by massive corporations, not family farms, and they use an unbelievable amount of water because they engage in wasteful watering practices. You want to help save water, force these massive corporate farms to do drip irrigation or at least spray irrigate at night.

@Loki vs Communist Time Lizard Dictators Because if you live in America and want to actually live an economically stable life you have to mostly rely on fossil fuels. You have no choice in America. That is why its so important that we invest more into public transportation and clean energy. Unfortunately that probably won't happen because both parties are lobbied hard by the oil industry and the automotive industry. Vote for either party and you are pretty much voting for the same party. America is a very corrupt country.

It’s almost as if Utah has a semi arid to desert climate and is the second driest state in the US
EXACTLY!
This is bull I live 1 mile away from the great salt lake. Water in utah changes every year. Next year we could have a ton we just don’t know. This is due to WEATHER not climate change. And also the great salt lake is going down because we use all the water before it hits the great salt lake. And also all of our water goes straight to california.

In the town I lived in all but a few homes had full front yards of grass. And lots of farmers growing water-thirsty alfalfa.
You ain’t lying Idaho followed by Utah 😦😦😦
Gayle mentions not to complain for those getting a lot of rain, but that is also a problem too. Too little rain out west leading to droughts, too much rain out east leading to floods.
Keep getting entertained folks
Now that the XL pipeline running north-south is dead, time to build a few running east-west to drain away flood waters.

You don't know anything about water rights out west. Don't hashtag merica if you support any legislation or lobbying group that advocates for insects and owls over the people who grow your food
@@frey-n-zel yup, the right to cast your state into severe drought, murica
Reality are for communists!
This is what happens when millions of people choose to live in the desert..
Companies waste more water than entire communities
"Pray for rain," 😂😂😂
It’s bad here in Nevada also. Have not rained 🌧 here in years.
110 is a normal weather forecast here in Las Vegas 🎰
That tends to be the trend when you build a city in a desert.
Bbbllllaaaaahhhhhaaaaa! Right? 😂 I know, raise camels.
Evidently you don't need more warning bells in the state of Utah... You need more golf courses you don't have enough of them to use the rest of your water up
Heartbreaking to see that poor farmer having sleepless nights. I hope it rains for his sake.
It's huge global problem. Like food inflacion.
Yes & Bill GATES Investing in Agricultural appears to have this " Under Control"
"Yeah, here comes the water." - Velvet Revolver
Not looking good here in Arizona either. The trees are drooping.
I have not been back home in about 4 years my brother said its getting bad
Keep spreading the word
People won't change unless there is an absolute need to do so. Hopefully this situation shows people that our future is unsustainable in it's current ways and we need to do things differently.
The moment the state government allows this farmer to go back to his old water usage he'll ditch his water saving measures.
Meanwhile here in Utah there are literal sprinklers that water more of the sidewalks than the actual grass. I walk down the street on the sidewalk & encounter so many that I have to walk into the street just to not get wet from them. Also what's up with pools being open & events going on while the pandemic is still happening??? Utah is in literal denial.
My butt-h-o-l-e puckered when i saw that drone pan-out on the empty landscape
This is super interesting...learning about droughts!
Learn about the corruption of your own people and their little ritual groups called government and study these topics on Google, operation sea spray, operation mocking bird, operation Northwoods, mk ultra, just to name a few, have fun and share the knowledge to those people that act entertained and act like they don't know a.single thing :)
Maybe the extinction of species in the past was due to, simply, drought; not some asteroid crashing into the earth...
Unrelated but that farmer sounds like jonah hill lmfaooooo
Utah isn’t alone in this case, California, Idaho, Arizona, New Mexico, and Nevada all are dealing with this never ending drought
Oh wow, look at that enormous desert and set amount of water reservoir, lets set up a huge farming operation and irrigate the f*ck out of it. It will all be ok.
The Western United States has about 5 to 10 more years to go before many areas are uninhabitable.
Lots of places are inhabitable. It’s not uncommon here to run off of generators and have to tank you water in.
Here's a spiffy idea. Build a huge city in the middle of a hot, dry desert (like Phoenix Arizona), pave over the land with streets, cars, and buildings, brag about how it's one of the fastest growing cities in the U.S., then act surprised when the place runs out of water.
@@kansasthunderman1 sounds great check in with me in about 10 years
Sounds like we need a water pipeline to put in there 👍🏻
My parents sold their alfalfa farm in Utah fifteen years ago when they saw his coming.
When Lake Mead runs out of water and the Hoover Dam has to shut down it will be over for millions in the SW.
And it's just about there. Diverting water to desert cities and farms in desert areas is not sustainable.
@@maryloupadron5395 I can't believe we have to explain that to people
Lmao he really said “pray for rain”
Utah, of all places, should be praying for rain. 😂😂
Arid climates full of people, industry.
Knock it off.
Utah also happens to be the fastest growing state in the union currently. Unchecked growth comes with risks and costs.
You want to pray for rain yet killed off native american rain makers
Finally letting the Farmers talk versus corporate reps good news!!!
Time for citizens to grow their own food now.
