While Arizona's La Paz County is experiencing its worst drought in 1,200 years, the small communities of Salome and Wenden are facing a particularly bad water crisis as foreign-owned farms drain the area's groundwater. To make matters worse, the crops produced by these farms are mostly shipped out-of-country instead of feeding back into the local economy, reports the Daily Mail.
With the Colorado River facing a dry spell, residents of La Paz have been forced to mainly rely on the state's aquifers for drinking water, which are underground layers of water-bearing materials that can be extracted from with wells. These aquifers are beginning to dry up as well, as Middle Eastern megafarm companies pump them to grow their crops.
