'This is a real crisis but people aren't going to realize it until their taps run dry.' Santa Clara Valley Water said they may have to increase their current 15% mandatory conservation target.
Stanford researchers have discovered that some areas in the West are more vulnerable to wildfires, in what they describe as "double-hazard" zones.
"Customers had been consuming 10% until February and this dry crispy weather I think is forcing people to turn on their irrigation again at a time we'd be expecting natural rainfall to be watering those landscapes," said spokesperson Andrea Pook. A 63% of normal snowpack after a Jan. 1 snowpack of 157% is thwarting efforts to predict what's next.
Standing in the snow, Jeremy Hill with the California Department of Water Resources said,"Our past forecasting efforts have relied on historical patterns that no longer apply due to our current changed climate conditions."And there's not much rain in the forecast. According to state climatologist Dr Michael Anderson,"We are looking at the end of the water season this year so we have what we have and will continue the drought conditions from the last two years so it will be year three of this current drought."
