I heard the state of Utah is in a drought. Can you help explain to me some of the reasons why that is?

That’s a good question! Some reasons why it could be in a drought include: the climate is drier, or Utah has not received adequate rainfall, or there are droughts in surrounding areas, or there could be unusual weather, or there are policies in place to conserve water, or there are other factors not mentioned here.

I read Utah gets much of its water from its mountainous regions and rivers, and has gotten less snow than normal, which creates smaller snowpacks for their water.
