People living in East Porterville, California are beginning to run out of drinking water due to the current drought in California. 182 homes have already reported no water or at least some kind of water issue. The main reason is that these homes rely on wells for their water but these wells have completely dried up.
The drought in California is devastating. People are running out of water and there is not much our state can do. We need to help people who do not have access to drinking water but it will be expensive. The drought is turning out to be not only an environmental problem but also an economic one as well.
You’re right we are running into a lot of economic and environmental issues. How could we fix these? Even though it would cost money to transport water into california, that seems to be the only option left. Hopefully from the drought we have learned and can focus on bettering the environment so in the future we dont end up running into these situations again.
I completely agree sophiaso, thank you for your thoughts!
I agree, we need to do more for the drought. Is there any plans that have been drawn up to face this problem?
