The ongoing severe drought in the Colorado River Basin has led to the river flowing at 84% of its historic average flow. The new study used tree-ring data and other climate records to identify a drought period unmatched in severity by the current drought or other ancient droughts. Gangopadhyay, S., Woodhouse, C.
