California Drought

California Drought:

Is Californians to run out of tap water? Dwindling flows from the Tule River have caused their wells to dry up.
The Marines’ Camp Pendleton has increased its recycled water production by 50 percent.
More than 4,000 wildfires have burned more than 80,000 acres since January

Even the mountains are moving — without water to weigh them down, some parts of California’s mountains have moved upward more than half an inch.

In northern California, Lake Oroville has become so dry that the state had to build a gravel boat launch.
