The production of wheat, rice, and maize was reduced by 10% because of the drought (http://theplate.nationalgeographic.com/2016/01/12/how-to-track-a-brutal-cereal-killer-extreme-weather/). Now, global warming is even affecting us. On June 1st, Californians face restrictions on water usage after four years of drought. As the result, they have to use less water; some have to stop watering their plants, and have to replace them with drought tolerant plants. They may even get a fine of $500 if they do not follow the restrictions. The drought is so severe that even the winter storm, El Niño cannot stop the drought; therefore, we still need to wait for many more big storms to bring back the lost
