Mega Drought is On Its Way!

Mega Drought is On Its Way!

Al Ritter

Oregon has already declared a drought disaster situation and California is close behind. Experts at the NOAA are predicting that the drought will be worse than the Dust Bowl drought of the 1930’s, and there is no relief in sight.

The Western coastal states were hoping for some relief this winter in the form of rain and snow but were sadly disappointed when precipitation levels were only 25-50% of what was needed.

Water is already being diverted away from farms to merely sustain the population.

Experts are predicting food shortages because of this redistribution of water supplies. Farmers are already refusing to plant crops that require large amounts of water, and in some cases not planning anything at all.

This will have a trickle-down effect in America causing loss of jobs, shortage of food stuffs, and increased inflation.

For some time I have always wondered why California has been the farming capital of the US when it is in fact an arid desert state. I understand the good weather part but the arid desert part that relies on water reserves never made much sense to me. Add these factors to an ever increasing population and to have a recipe for disaster.

Hopefully the Midwest and Southern States can help make up the difference this year.
