Abstract

The article discusses the impact of California's drought, which began in 2012, on its forests, wildlife, and economy. Topics include the impact of growth in the state's population and agriculture on water use, California's adaptation to droughts through innovations such as water conservation, aqueduct networks, and water markets, and California's need for a proactive, long-term drought management plan that considers economical and environmental factors such as reduced precipitation or snow pack.
