California Drought 2014 Is Critical – Cutting Off Water Supply

By Aqiyl Aniys | February 2nd, 2014 | Modified - February 2nd, 2014

For the fist time in California’s history the California Department of Water Resources said it will not be able to deliver water to contractors who supply two-thirds of the population and a million acres of farmland with water.

Mark Cowin, director of the Water Resources Department, said in an interview with Bloomberg:

“This isn’t a coming crisis. This isn’t an evolving crisis. This is a current crisis.”

The California Department of Water Resources had said that it would only be able to supply 5% of the requested amount of water and now says that it will not be able to supply any water.

Contractors and agencies will have to rely on existing supplies such as ground water and what is stored behind dams.

Governor Jerry Brown declared a drought emergency Jan. 17 and asked residents and businesses to voluntarily cut use by 20 percent and warned that mandatory restrictions could follow.
