In Depth: who’s using water during California’s drought?
CBS, San Francisco (August 4, 2014) - The current drought is covering all of California in extreme ways. It’s the third driest year in 106 years of record keeping according to Jay Lund of the UC Davis Center for Watershed Sciences. Lund stressed that the demand for environmental, agricultural and urban water use have never come at a greater time. At the recent UC Drought Summit in Sacramento, the general consensus was that we cannot treat this historic drought as a one-off event since there are sure to be more.
