Dodging a disastrous third year of drought in California could take the kind of winter mega-storms that leave almost as much ruin as they do rain…
An average year wouldn’t spell doom for supply conditions in the north. But it wouldn’t slake demand from growing cities or dramatically raise state reservoir levels, which stand at 14-year lows. Several urban communities already have instituted mandatory or voluntary water conservation, and farmers have cut back plantings and left some fields fallow.
