Startling Footage of California Reservoirs Shows Devastating Impact of Epic Drought
Greetings,
Startling Footage of California Reservoirs Shows Devastating Impact of Epic Drought
If you’re wondering how much damage four years of an epic drought can wreck, look no further than the condition of California’s depleted reservoirs. In new footage of the Folsom, Oroville and Shasta reservoirs—captured by the California Department of Water Resources (CA-DWR) on July 20—it’s genuinely startling to see how little water remains.
The CA-DWR wrote on Facebook that Folsom Lake measured at 34 percent of capacity, Lake Oroville at 35 percent and Lake Shasta at 45 percent.
Jay Famiglietti, senior water scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and a professor at UC Irvine, estimated that California’s reservoirs have only about a one-year supply of water remaining.
These before-and-after images from the CA-DWR illustrate the extent of the drought’s damage even further. (But don’t be too alarmed, “reservoirs provide only a portion of the water used in California and are designed to store only a few years’ supply,” the Los Angeles Times noted).
CityLab noted that 71 percent of California is currently experiencing “extreme” or “exceptional drought,” while 100 percent of the state is experiencing some form of drought.
Meanwhile, conditions across the drought-wracked region are continuing to break records. Temperatures in the Northwest are in the 90s-100s, at 10 to 15 degrees above normal and even 20 degrees in a few locations, according Accuweather…..More Here
