Megadrought: New Mexico farms face uncertain future — High Country News – Know the West

ON THE RIO GRANDE, one of the Southwest’s major lifelines, this year is expected to be among the driest in recent history. New Mexico officials project drought conditions to be worse than they’ve been since the 1970s. The upcoming season highlights a difficult reality in this state: Farming and ranching to pay the bills could become an unsustainable way of life in New Mexico, as the water supply dwindles and farms resort to pumping more groundwater to irrigate.

And while state lawmakers and regulators have a wealth of information on the current and future water crises, there has been little interest in radical changes to water policy.

In an attempt to address the immediate water challenges, hydrologists with the New Mexico Interstate Stream Commission are taking the rare step of asking farmers along the river, as well as a major tributary, the Rio Chama, to either cut back their farming this year or brace for a short irrigation season.

India’s poor are being left behind in coronavirus vaccine drive — Quartz India

Ten days into this second phase of vaccinations, doctors and health workers in Delhi have noticed a trend. “It is mostly educated people who are coming while the rest are hospital staff,” said a doctor from the radiology department manning the vaccination centre at Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Narayan Hospital. “People from the poorer sections are not coming. They are not aware of this.”

At the Central government-run Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital in the capital, doctors at the empty waiting area for the vaccine said that “90% of the beneficiaries belonged to the middle class and upper-middle class.”

Asia Today: Virus resurges as India slowly vaccinates more – ABC News

(India may be in for a surprise – an unexpected surge and major problems from not being more aggressive in its vaccination efforts-Ned)

Government health official Vinod Kumar Paul in a news conference Thursday said the latest surge, particularly in Maharashtra, was worrisome. He advised people not to lower their guard as “the pandemic is not yet over.” India began its vaccination drive in January and has advanced to the second phase, giving shots to health care workers, people older than 60 and people over 45 with significant health risks. But the program aiming to vaccinate 300 million people by August is running way below capacity. More than 26 million people have gotten a shot, though only 4.72 million are fully vaccinated with both doses.
