Description: Annual snowfall has been decreasing during the past 80 years in the Navajo Nation, and by the 1960s more than 30 major rivers and bodies of water upon which the Navajo relied for livestock and agricultural production had dried up. Since then, the soil has become drier due to higher temperatures during the warmest months, further increasing water stress.
