- Malnutrition, dehydration and related diseases.
- Famine due to lack of water for irrigation.
- Social unrest.
- Mass migration, resulting in internal displacement and international refugees.
- War over natural resources, including water and food.
- Reduced electricity production due to insufficient available coolant for power stations and reduced water flow through hydroelectric dams.

Recent California storms won’t stop water cutbacks
feww said
gettheconcept – that’s an ecological reality. The key to California’s salvation from drought is the good old fashion snow–lots of it!
Unfortunately, there won’t be much for sometime. The long-term pattern has changed dramatically, leaving only one destiny ahead of us: ‘Mojavefication’ [desertification of California.]

Scary stuff:
Tampa Bay Water makes last withdrawal from tapped out reservoir.
edro said
Yes, It’s scary. Imagine the entire population having to live in a region about 16 – 22 percent of the US area because of water scarcity and other factors!

But even now people have an option to make changes, though to an even lesser extent than the last season, if only they regained their will to live!

Feeding Farmers to the Fish!
I took a drive this week from Sacramento to Los Angeles, and had an eye opening experience. Down the entire length of the 5 freeway, we saw not the green luscious fields of produce or green orchards laden with fruit, but dusty dead and dying orchards. Rows after row, acre after acre, miles after mile of them, perfectly formed, perfectly helpless….lifeless.
By way of explanation, these signs dotted the dusty dry roadside: “Congress Created Dust Bowl. Thank You Sacramento!”
My lawn is green. My kids have plenty of water to spray in the yard, yet California’s orchards aren’t getting a drop this year despite the best rainfall in three years and five reservoirs filled to over capacity.
There’s no doubt that we’re in a drought, but why the sudden drop in water availability only for farmers? Are the politicians in Sacramento more concerned about the plethora of city votes than the small handful of agricultural ones? We will all be paying for Sacramento’s blunder. The Central Valley provides up to 8% of the nation’s fresh produce.
Watching the staggering waste just made my heart ache. We had to pull over and take pictures. The contrast with past green was stark—it takes 30 years to build an orchard like this up to full production! Almonds, walnuts, citrus… Why do we have green lawns while these resources are left to die?
Dead and Dying–California’s Central Valley Dust Bowl—these are pics from my drive:
