Droughts, a multi causal and complex environmental issue that can have serious consequences and serious strain on the earth. Droughts are caused due to climate change, it is a period of below-average precipitation in a given region, resulting in prolonged shortages in water supply and in California we are entering our fourth year of a record drought and should be taken serious as it is considered a drought if only after fifteen days of not receiving enough water, so we then depend on Aquifers. Lack of rainfall cause meteorological draughts and lack of water table because of absence of water deep under the ground. The solution is to make small tributaries which can provide the water to the area. Rotating agriculture is also a solution to the

According to NASA satellite images, Aquifers around the world are being depleted and are plummeting down, as 37 of the world 's largest aquifers around the world have reached their tipping point. As the drought continues, we are currently using 60% of fresh waters from aquifers, which is twice what humans have ever used in a given year. As aquifers are no longer used as backups, but as the source of our water supply the question becomes, what do we do once aquifers run out of water, do we go straight to the source of the problem, Climate …show more content…
The distribution is causing less rain causing a depletion of water, causing droughts. Too much heat causes warmer temperature, increasing the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere where water vapor than magnifies the warming caused by excess carbon dioxide. Climate change of global warming does not only prevent us from receiving water from rainfall, but actually takes the water we already have from us. Many believe global warming is out of our hands, but know it is not good for the earth, but don’t know how it is affecting it. As it is not too late to help prevent global warming into affect the earth even more, it could also be the answer the our drought problem by supplying the earth with more water and will prevent it from taking water we already have from
