LOS GATOS AND THE WATER CRISIS

Jayne, its really scary to read about the reservoirs being so low and water shortage, we have been a drought many years now but luckily the few inches of rain keep us in stage three. Great photo....

That is sad irony, Jayne.  I know it sounds silly, but I wish that we could ship some of our water from North Florida to you.  We have more than we need; we think nothing of leaving the faucets on, and of using excessive amounts of water for whatever reason.  My heart goes out to the people of California, I pray that a normal rain season will return to your State. 

Hello Jayne ... I have been hanging around the Bay Area now for several years working on construction projects. The big rain helped, but many parts of Cali could use more water ... "Great photo for your post" 

Jayne, great photo to illustrate just how much things have changed.  Thank you for following my blog.  So glad you found me and that in turn had me check out your page. What treat indeed. 

Like Fred Griffin we have plenty of water here in Missouri.  However, we do occasionally have shortages in certain areas during the summer months.  It is so difficult to imagine how it would be to deal with shortages year round.

Good morning Jayne. My brother lives in that part of the state and always talks about the drought conditions. That sign is hysterical.

Make it a great week!

How ironic Jayne, I am positive we will see more rain in the near future...Endre

Jayne, your photo shows the big story - wow.  To be that dry.  I hope you got some of the crazy wet weather we had this last week.  

The water issue is just plain scary.  I went to a regional update last week, and they told us that the Sun Corridor population, from Phoenix to Nogales, was expected to go from 6 million now to 12 million by 2050.  Where is all the water going to come from??

Yep that is pretty ironic,and scary. I think things are worse in Northern CA than they are down here. But you have also had more rain this fall and winter I think. Hope it keeps getting better

Jayne, the more people, the more demand on the water.  One day, it will be one of the highest priced commodities and saving and preserving will become more and more important in water management.
