California Drought

     As you may have heard, there is a sever drought occurring in Los Angeles California. Due to lack of rain, approximately 40,000 people may run out of water in the next 60-120 days. This number, large enough already, has yet to grow, and may reach up to 25 million people. State officials are planning to bring drinking water to communities affected by truck. Additionally, wells will be built, and citizens will have to limit there water usage. Even with these efforts,this will be the worst drought in about 500 years. 
     However, the drought has already taken effect. The worst effects include farmers not being able planting anymore, ranchers having to sell their cattle, and pollution raising to a dangerously high level. Also, people have limited showers, washing cars, and watering lawns. On top of this, multiple species of animals are endangered. This being said, officials are stressed, and all have concerns about the drought.
     While it did rain recently, it was not nearly enough to make up for the three years of practically none. You may be wondering, three years of drought, how did this happen? I hypothesize that in fact, global warming is partly to blame. Studies show that over the next 100 years, dry areas will become drier and wet areas, wetter. That leaves one to believe, could this be the beginning of drastic global warming effects? What do you think, feel free comment your opinion below.
