No Snow Makes California Drought Even Worse

June 1, 2015
No Comments
The state’s now mired in such a deep water deficit that even a Texas-sized flood may not totally eliminate the drought. - See more at: http://www.phcnews.com/content/no-snow-makes-california-drought-even-worse#sthash.rZVqaOZn.dpuf

California’s current megadrought hit a shocking new low. Last Thursday, the state’s snowpack officially ran out. At least some measurable snowpack in the Sierra mountains usually lasts all summer. But this year, its early demise means that runoff from the mountains—which usually makes up the bulk of surface water for farms and cities during the long summer dry season—will be essentially non-existent.

To be clear: there’s still a bit of snow left, and some water will be released from reservoirs (which are themselves dangerously low), but this is essentially a worst-case scenario when it comes to California’s fragile water supply.

More details here.
