stanford.edu | July 31, 2014

Now in its third year, the current drought reminds us that California’s water supplies are limited. Calls are growing louder to enlarge dams – or build new ones – to expand the state’s water storage capacity.

The prediction of seriously increased Southwest droughts due to climate change

sciencemag.org | Feb 12, 2015

Climate change is expected to increase drought severity in the Southwest according to recent modeling. Future drought risk will likely exceed even the driest centuries of the Medieval Climate Anomaly (1100–1300 CE) in both moderate, and high future emissions scenarios. read more…

Of California's 8,000 Public Water Systems, 3,000 are Community Water Systems (CWSs) in the state, meaning systems that serve a residential population year-round. The remaining 5,000 are non-community systems. This extreme decentralization and fragmentation do not guarantee safe drinking water for all.

The US 'megadrought' sets another stunning record. The West's drought is actually a long-term phenomenon, persisting from year to year without enough precipitation to lead to a full recovery. The last time drought has been so widespread for so long was October 2013. And without...
