Description:
Scant long-term meteorological records and historical documentation were complemented with observations by Navajo elders on changes in water availability, weather, and sand or dust storms. A long-term drying trend and decreasing snowpack, superimposed on regional drought cycles, will magnify drought impacts on the Navajo Nation and leave its people increasingly vulnerable.
