Dokoupil, T. (2014, September 12). Not One Drop: How Long Will California Survive Life Without Water?
Retrieved November 21 from
Wells throughout the state are drying up and are in serious danger without heavy rainfall sometime soon. People across the central valley, mostly farmers, are finding themselves with no water. This hurts their business and families. They have no water to cook, clean, grow food, etc. Residents explain how their lives have changed since the drought; one man says how he showers with a cup. Another man compares it to living in a third world country.
This was a very sad and scary article to read. Luckily, since it was published we have had a decent amount of rain but not much. We need a lot more to keep these wells full. If this drought and continues we could all run out of water and life in California could be inhabitable.
I am also very shocked by this article. It is scary to think that farmers in the central valley are finding themselves with no water to grow their food. What could happen if the drought continued?
Thank you palomape! Isn’t it crazy? Hopefully we are getting a lot of rain currently.
