Several farms in California have been forced to shut down permanently, and the rationing of water for residents and businesses, is taking a fearful toll, of which the ripple effects are already being felt across the nation in the form of increased food prices. This is on top of the inflationary pressures produced by the war in Ukraine.
In fact, many individuals and families are now facing the very real prospect of turning on their taps, and having no running water. Not only has the rain and snow been reduced significantly, the underground water from wells and aquifers is also being reduced to scary levels, in so much that some residents have to get water to bathe and cook from other towns.
As a result of the lack of water to replenish the likes of Lake mead and Lake Powell, hydro-electric plants have been forced to curtail production, with more pain to come, if much rain water, and snow do not come in short order. Lake Mead in particular, is now at its lowest point since it was filled in the 1930’s, and Lake Powell is at only 34% of its capacity.
