Well, there’s a welcome headline: “‘Extreme’ drought status nearly eliminated in California…”
Fantastic news, though one might hope that this recharging of supplies doesn’t engender complacency, the familiar tendency of folks to default to business as usual when it comes to water usage.
Some reservoirs are topped off at the moment, but this can’t mean a return to previous practices and habits. Summer is coming, and one might think there’s a lesson to be learned in acting like the water supply issues are solved. It’s partially that shortsighted gluttony that got everyone into this mess in the first place.
That, and an ungodly dry spell.
