THE "dust bowl", a Depression-era environmental disaster that drove 500,000 people from the southwestern American states, may soon return, US scientists have warned.

The study shows that the same area is “expected to dry up notably in this century and could become as arid as the North American dust bowl of the 1930s,” according to the April 6 issue of Science magazine.
