The mishap occurred on 26 December 2022 at Woods Canyon Lake in Coconino County, Arizona.

3 Indian-Americans die after falling through ice while walking on frozen lake in USA's Arizona

The mishap occurred on 26 December 2022 at Woods Canyon Lake in Coconino County, Arizona.

Three Indian-Americans died a tragic death in the US after they fell through the ice while walking on a frozen lake.
The mishap occurred on 26 December 2022 at Woods Canyon Lake in Coconino County, Arizona.
The deceased were identified as 49-year-old Narayan Muddana, 47-year-old Gokul Mediseti, and Haritha Muddana, whose age wasn't known.
While Haritha was pulled out of the water soon after falling, the bodies of Narayan and Gokul were recovered a day later.
According to a statement released by officials with CCSO, "Deputies stationed at a substation in the area were called to the lake after two men and a woman were walking on the frozen lake and fell through the ice." Woods Canyon Lake is located east of Payson in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests. It is an area popular among hikers, anglers and other outdoor enthusiasts.
More than one million Americans and Canadians are facing problems as a massive winter storm continues to pummel North America.
A bomb cyclone, when atmospheric pressure plummets, has brought snow, strong winds and freezing temperatures. Nearly 250 million are affected, and at least 19 deaths have been linked to the storm that extends more than 3,200km from Quebec to Texas.

A megadrought - persisting for the last 20 years. The most severe dry period in over a thousand years. This is what America's southwest has been struggling with, and the end is not yet in sight.
The worst-hit states include California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Oregon, and Montana in the West. In the South, the driest places are in Texas, and Oklahoma.
At least six of these states have issued drought emergency declarations, and the federal US government ordered water restrictions along the Colorado river. Experts believe that the drought is so severe that even one year with high rainfall won't be enough to remedy the situation.

So, what's causing this scary megadrought?
The causes include lower rainfall in the southwest region, combined with exceptionally high temperatures. Adverse ocean dynamics in the tropical Pacific also have a role to play. Additionally, the natural phenomena are exacerbated by climate change.
The consequences are obvious - from lack of access to water for various uses, to lower food production, and a hit on living conditions in cities and towns.
The drought has severely reduced surface and groundwater levels.The soil has become dry, and wildfire risk has increased dangerously.Rivers and lakes are drying up with reduced stream flow and low snow coverage.
With the situation becoming more grave every year, what are authorities doing?
The Mayor of Los Angeles in California promised in 2019 to recycle 100% waste water by the year 2035. A $3.4 billion water recycling facility has also been proposed. The plant is so advanced that it would even make waste water safe to drink, as per reports.
In the city of Las Vegas in Nevada, 99% waste water from indoor use is treated and put into Lake Mead, which supplies 90% of the authority's water supply. The city has also banned "non-functional turf".
In California's San Diego, subsidies are provided to people investing in water-efficiency technologies. The city also has America's largest desalination plant. 8% waste water is also recycled for non-drinking uses like agriculture.
In Phoenix, Arizona, 100% waste water is reportedly recycled for various uses. Treated water is used for farming, energy production, urban irrigation, groundwater replenishment etc.
With concrete action against climate change still missing, India might be staring at a similar situation in the future. IPCC reports have warned of a 5-20% increase in drought conditions in India and surrounding regions by middle of the 21st century.
Staring at such a grim future, it might be time for India to learn from experiences of other places like the US to prepare for prolonged periods of water scarcity.

USA: 20-year mega-drought, worst in 1,200 years, continues; water scarcity lessons for India?

At least six US states in the southwest issued drought emergency declarations, and the federal US government ordered water restrictions along the Colorado river.

Here's something new to blame social media for. Parking at a spot near the edge of an Arizona canyon where the Colorado River makes a sharp U-turn will now come at a cost. 
The Horseshoe Bend, where the bluish-green river takes a 270-degree turn just outside the town of Page is one of the most photographed spot. Sharing pictures of the spot on social media is a trend, and has in turn, attracted many tourists and visitors. 
The traffic and safety concerns that come with the site’s popularity are what led officials to start charging a parking fee this month.
