The lack of potable water in California will continue because of soil erosion; the runoff water and soil contaminates water sources, and makes it unusable for drinking. This runoff will have serious effects on the supply of potable water in California. Walls must be put around reservoirs and bodies of water that are susceptible to being polluted by runoff water otherwise it could be very dangerous.
There are serious consequences that may arise from erosion of soil, which will be amplified by El Niño. There are lot of things to watch out for in California this year; there needs to be storm damage prevention measures taken to protect land from soil erosion, bridges, roads, and even reservoirs/water sources. If nothing is done to prevent the destruction of our resources because of soil erosion, then the effects will be felt for thousands of years, and could significantly affect California and its inhabitants.
