Denver (US), Feb 25 (TIWN): Last summer, drought conditions and water shortages dominated headlines in America's West, and 2022 has seen some half a dozen states ramping up to fight over the water they want and need coming from America's biggest mountain chain, the spectacular Rocky Mountains.
The Rocky Mountains run some 3,000 miles (about 4828 km) from the state of New Mexico deep into Canada, and literally divide North America -- rivers on the west side of the Rockies flow to the Pacific Ocean, and east-bound rivers eventually find the Atlantic, Xinhua news agency reported.
