While some models show California is drought-free statewide for the first time in 25 years, the threat of wildfire is not over.
CAL FIRE is using current conditions to increase forest treatments and reduce risk ahead of future fire activity.

What does it mean to be drought-free? For CA, it means we don’t count overdrafted aquifers or households still dependent on hauled water after the last drought. #CAwater #CAdrought

‘Bout time! (India did this, what, a decade ago?).
🤞🏽Fingers crossed it gets implemented.

The most recent map from the U.S. Drought Monitor shows that severe drought has returned to California, underscoring the on-going need for climate solutions which support water conservation. 💧🌞 tinyurl.com/4c2jprum #CAwater #CAdrought #WaterWise
Regional and worldwide extreme droughts also foreshadowed the 2012-2016 #CAdrought. In 2012, we commented on the @CA_DWR #climateadaptation strategy, noting that the extreme drought in the Southwest could come to California. The next year it did. #CAwater....

Still a huge issue with the #Deltatunnel. #CAdrought.
