no, it isn't that the sky is falling. to me it is more a head's up that there _may_ be significant lifestyle changes due to water shortages.
when i drove through northern california this summer to reach the pacific northwest, i drove through the siskiyou mountains where mt. shasta is located. there is a lake. or i should say was. when i drove through there in late 2004 it was very low. this year when i drove through it did not even exist. nada.
people who live in california need to assess their water usage.
for me, the costs of living there were becoming far too much. with a water shortage of the magnitude the dept of water resources is preparing for there will be less planting. california farmers supply a very high percentage of the produce to this country and around the world. the price of groceries in a year on top of the other rising costs there simply are too high for a singleton like me to be able to pay.
