"Regional water supplies will be dramatically affected by climate change in the decades immediately ahead, say the team.
The western US is already experiencing water shortages and research suggests that the region could face a water crisis within 20 years".
There is no water shortage in the western us, specially this year! THAT IS WHAT I WAS COMMENTING ABOUT!!!

"In the South American Andes and western China, millions of people could be left without adequate water during the summer due to accelerated melting of glaciers.
If the snow pack melts sooner, and if societies don't have the ability catch all of that water, they're going to end up with water shortages in the summer," Dr Barnett explained".
Therefore, it seems to me that the potential shortage in the summer time "if this runoff can't be adequately caught" may apply to South America and western China but not to the western US!
I was only commenting for what I am seeing here in the western US. Therefore, since that was WRONG, to me that affects the credibility of that entire article...
