5:23Now PlayingMay 22 | Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) delivers opening remarks at a Senate Budget Committee hearing entitled, “Droughts, Dollars, and Decisions: Water Scarcity in a Changing Climate.”
Climate change is exacerbating the severity of droughts and increasing the demand for freshwater. At the same time, it is undermining the infrastructure and natural reservoirs that communities have historically relied on for water. As droughts intensify, they are harming food production, straining municipal water supplies, and disrupting shipping routes—all of which are pushing up prices for consumers and straining the federal budget.
