Drought

conditions, farming, agriculture, and for everything in between. However, ever since 2011 the once luscious west coast has been getting increasingly drier and drier each year. Due to lack of water and rainfall, 2015 is the fourth year of the worst ongoing drought in the history of California. The now doubled population of California from 50 years ago does not lessen the strain whatsoever.…

We’ve had little food since the drought started, but I’m sure you know about that, it’s just that because it is so dry, a fire started and charred most of the crops. We don’t have any food now, and it will take too long for the remaining plants and soil to break apart and be ready for crops agian. It’s time we just don’t have, your majesty, please help us. The children,” he shivered, “the children need food or they won’t make it.” I was sympathetic for this man. The drought had taken its toll on…

impacted greatly, with numerous severe droughts and heat waves. Several studies have shown that increasing global temperatures have correlated with longer recurrent drought periods and higher average temperatures across the state. This literature review will inspect climate change’s influence on California’s droughts using ten sources published within the last six years by first analyzing the relationships between Earth’s rising temperatures and California’s drought-stricken periods and then…

this book is about back in historical time when the dust bowl that happened Many years ago.

Since 2012 the drought has infected California with the most intense dry period in the last 1,200 years. The drought is becoming a major problem in California. The current drought occurring since 2012 has shown up negative five on the Palmer Drought Index Severity. The Palmer Drought Index Severity is a scale to record droughts where, a zero represents normal conditions, a negative one is a drought, and a negative four is an extreme drought. Even though many might think the drought is only going…

agriculture depend on the region or location. The location dictates the soil fertility, therefore the extreme weather such as the heat waves, droughts, strong winds and heavy rains affecting the crop growth varies by region. Droughts in the Great Plains will stress the agriculture by the increase in temperature, less groundwater and flooding. In the Southwest the drought, water shortages, fire and floods will affect the soil decreasing the crops production. Heat waves increase and flooding will…

Although California has experienced a drying trend since the late 1970s, the drought that many Californians are currently experiencing is reaching a record-high due to the gradual warming trend that has been happening over the past few decades. For the past few years, most of California have suffered from a drought that is believed to have been brought on by a ridge of high pressure that blocks off winter storms which normally travels to and from the West Coast. In order to analyze the causes…

If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. That is the stance that the Saddle Creek Golf Resort in Copperopolis is taking to embrace the drought. The ideal golf course has perfectly manicured grass that is as green as an Ireland hillside.But with water usage being highly monitored, and unnecessary outdoor watering being heavily scrutinized, Saddle Creek decided to roll with the punches and has decided that brown is beautiful. “I’ve been playing golf all my life and have been used to playing on very lush,…

Do you or someone you know eat fresh farm foods or depend on a job in local agriculture? If the water bill passes you may need to find a new job. The state of California is in a drought and there isn’t enough water for everybody. The farmers want the water so they can grow crops and feed the population, while the people want the water so they can take a shower or flush the toilet. I believe the government should not control the use of underground water. “...a bill that one local farmer says…

ground than any other, and up to 80 percent of that water is used for agriculture. This mainly happens as a result of the depletion of the Shasta and Oroville Lakes; the federal government’s main source of water for the Central Valley. Since the drought began four years ago, the farms around the central valley have not been getting the provisions they’ve requested form the state, and as a result, have turned to pumping water out of the reservoirs in the ground. These underground reservoirs are…
