I've heard that Southern California is headed for big water problems this summer -

[hedgehog]

that the snow pack just isn't building this winter. Any truth to this?

[Saving Hawaii]

1. What snow pack?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. Yes, we are...

The snowpack is very minimal.

I'm worried about our water supply...

3. We need rain badly

We are supposed to get a little this weekend but we are way behind.

4. don't we get this every year ?

kind of like how this is the year of the big one(earthquake) ?

[Warpy]

5. La Nina built up and we got rain in early December

but she fizzled out fast and a dry El Nino pattern is taking over again.

If California doesn't get it this time of year, NM doesn't tend to get it.

[shanti]

7. I've been storing water for a year and a half- in GLASS containers, not plastic.

All of our empty bottles and jars are full of water- a drop of bleach
keeps them potable.
Highly recommend others do the same.

Crazy thing is- we had a rain barrel roof top program
in SoCal to prepare for this very thing- problem was,
no one could obtain the services to install them.

Be ready to ride mane people.

It's not like we grow everybody's food or anything.

12. Tell me about it. I'm from Souther California and I have seen such waste of water that WE send

to them via the Aqueduct.

[Ecumenist]

11. Yep....ALTHOUGH, we have a chance for things to turn around but southern Calfiornia

needs to change the way so many waste water. I used to live in SoCal , native) and I've seen sprinklers run where water in running down the street
