    What would happen if California were to run out of water completely, just because the government did not do anything to stop it from happening? Farmers and regular citizens are drilling the ground in search of groundwater. Currently there are no laws restricting or monitoring the amount of groundwater we can use, and without these laws we could run out of water. In order to conserve and save water legislation needs create regulations to monitor and control both citizens and farmers use of groundwater. Due to a lack of regulations regarding groundwater farmers are drilling the ground and taking other people's water.…

    Jerry Brown said the state was facing perhaps "the worst drought that California has ever seen since records (began) about 100 years ago. " The United States spends billions of dollars per year treating water; however, we only use 10 percent for drinking and cooking. The pros of using treated waste water for drinking water and agriculture: conserve our fresh water resources, replenishes sensitive ecosystems where wildlife and plants are vulnerable, and help ease water shortages. Moreover, it decreases wastewater discharges and may reduce and prevent pollution. Yet, by doing so there are cons that cannot be denied such as, the increase of cost for infrastructure treatment facilities and extra pipes to control it and finally public perception.…

    An atmospheric cycle called El Nino is not supposed to be the savior to this but should change things. It allows the southern jet stream to hit Southern California instead of the Pacific Northwest. This allows moisture and storms to be more recurrent than past years. Landslides and mudslides may be a product of this, but things like the LA river and agriculture will be somewhat…

    California Water Crisis How would you feel if you didn’t have enough water to use the restroom everyday, or if you couldn’t shower for over 6 months? Being that California has been in a gargantuan drought for the past 4 to 5 years, water has been in short supply in more places than not. Farmers claim that they should be allowed unlimited access to the state’s supply of groundwater, solely in view of money crops. Ironically, while farmers are making these claims there are people in these towns, traveling 3 to 6 hours to get a gallon of water to last their families a week. Many believe that there should be regulations and water control considering farmers are complaining that they grow crops to sell,…

    Now it is questioned whether the causes of California drought is linked to climate change, or even man-made. The severe atmospheric conditions joint with California’s drought occurrence are far more likely to appear with today’s global warming that have not existed before California citizens relied on the large amount of greenhouse gases. Combinations of unusual warm temperatures for California weather and stagnant air conditions, the loss of precipitation has produced a dangerous uproar with incidents relevant to air pollution, wildfires, and increased evaporation. The high increase in evaporation rates gradually lead to greater drying of soils and vegetation, having the potential to affect the natural land-based and manage ecosystems, coastal systems, and both…

In the article, “Why the California Drought is Affecting Everyone”by Katharine Mieszkowski she states “In some areas of the state, the groundwater has become so overtaxed that the earth is literally sinking. Between 2008 and 2011, parts of the Central Valley subsided more than 2 feet.” People are pumping so much water out of the ground, that the ground is sinking.…

    More water is imported to substitute for the lack of rainfall due to the hot weather. This water comes from other places, such as the Colorado River and rivers in Northern California. The importation will not last forever and Southern California must start thinking about creating more desalination plants to convert our plentiful ocean water to usable water. This would tremendously help with the drought, but would cost the state millions. The people wold have to vote to produce these plants because it would be people’s tax dollars that allow and pay for the…
