A drier-than-usual winter. Low reservoir levels. Depleted mountain snowpack caused by a warm spring. As you can see from the shocking gif here, together these factors spell dangerous drought conditions for California and the Southwest.


Of course, drought is not new to the Southwest. But the climate crisis has spurred a “megadrought,” a term used to describe a severe and intense drought that spans multiple decades.


Experts say that rising greenhouse gases make today's droughts warmer—and that the current megadrought is attributed to reduced rain and snow, worsened by warming temperatures due to the climate crisis.

Severe drought brings a number of predictable consequences: failed crops, water restrictions, fish kills. They also have, have potentially severe public health implications—from drinking water shortages and poor quality drinking water to impacts on air quality, sanitation, hygiene, food, and nutrition. In communities still battling COVID-19 outbreaks, such implications could be deadly.
