Epic Drought: California Has About 1 Year of Water Left
Given the historic low temperatures and snowfalls that pummeled the
eastern U.S. this winter, it might be easy to overlook how devastating
California's winter was as well.
As our “wet” season draws to a
close, it is clear that the paltry rain and snowfall have done almost
nothing to alleviate epic drought conditions. January was the driest in
California since record-keeping began in 1895. Groundwater and snowpack
levels are at all-time lows. We're not just up a creek without a paddle
in California, we're losing the creek too.
