CALIFORNIA'S DROUGHT CRISIS - A LOCAL PERSPECTIVE
A quote from the Governor’s recently
released California Water Action Plan: “After two years of dry weather and
shrinking reservoir supplies, we are reminded once again that nothing focuses
Californians’ attention on our limited water resources like drought.”
California is entering its third year of drought, with the driest 2013 rainy
season on record. This month’s meeting presentation will center around
California’s drought, with a focused local perspective.
