Drought: How Can We Live without Water in the Golden State
Growing up in Southern California, the spector of not enough water seemed frequently present. Not enough rain falls to support a population a tenth as big as it was then, so water was imported from hundreds of miles away. This year those sources are suffering from a three year drought, and it looks like some drastic measures should be taken to conserve what is there.

We'll be paying more for fruits and vegetables from California this year, it's clear. But that's not the big concern. In a time when disaster and droughts due at least in part of climate change are more and more prevalent, how can people act to turn things around, when in many cases they seem unable to take steps to mitigate the mess we've made?
The photo by the way was taken in Eastern Washington last year, which, interestingly, seems to have had good rainfall this year.
