And it's creating trouble for communities, farmers, and fish.
Sixkiller says snowpack droughts will only become more frequent in the future.
Sixkiller says despite severe flooding in some areas over the winter, things are drying out across nearly every watershed in Washington.

Department of Justice says that a federal contractor charged for time that workers were idle.
They accused Hanford Mission Integration Solutions of knowing that those charges were wrong.
It all came out from a whistleblower.
He claimed that Hanford's fire control systems were not being maintained by his employer.
Richard Condit is with the whistleblower's law firm.
He says the company's plans for workers were mismanaged.
According to the Justice Department, the falsified record-keeping happened for several years.
