Once upon a time, much of the state of California was a barren desert.
And now, thanks to the worst drought in modern American history, much of
the state is turning back into one. Scientists tell us that the 20th
century was the wettest century that the state of California had seen in
1000 years. But now weather patterns are reverting back to historical
norms, and California is rapidly running out of water. It is being
reported that the state only has approximately a one year supply of
water left in the reservoirs, and when the water is all gone there are
no contingency plans. Back in early 2014, California Governor Jerry
Brown declared a drought emergency for the entire state, but since that
time water usage has only dropped by 9 percent. That is not nearly
enough. The state of California has been losing more than 12 million
acre-feet of total water a year since 2011, and we are
quickly heading toward an extremely painful water crisis unlike anything
that any of us have ever seen before.
