At least 72 percent of the region covering California, Nevada, Oregon and Utah have reported severe drought conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Reports say scarce rain and snow contributed to the problem and emergency measures have been put in place. Gov. Spencer Cox (R-Utah) issued two emergency warnings for state this year mandating all state facilities to conserve water. The state government recently approved $280 million for water projects, including $100 million for conservation.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Extremely critical fire weather conditions expected tomorrow Thursday June 10th across northeast <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/UT?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#UT<\/a> and northwest <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/CO?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#CO<\/a>.
