It's a stark view.
Both U.S. and cuban maid sex videoEuropean satellites have captured the profound changes in drought-stricken, continually warming California. The last two years have been the driest such period in over four decades, and the paucity of water is easily apparent in the state's dropping reservoir levels.
California's critical mountain snowpack — which ultimately feeds much of its reservoir system — is below average and trending down, but that's not the only problem. In a warmer climate, less water flows into reservoirs as more of it evaporates or soaks into the parched ground. The Golden State is losing "runoff efficiency."
"The decrease in runoff efficiency (the runoff that occurs in response to a given quantity of precipitation) is a troubling, yet expected, outcome of a warming climate," the California Department of Water Resources wrote in mid-June in response to the worsening drought and low reservoir levels.
Western heat waves, which are growing more intense as the climate warms, make matters worse. Droughts feed off heat.
"Drought and heat are natural dance partners," NOAA meteorologist Tom Di Liberto recently wrote. "Drought conditions are made more likely or more extreme when temperatures soar. And vice versa, hot temperatures can be made even hotter by a drought-stricken landscape."

As of mid-June 2021, the reservoir was at half of its typical levels for that time of year.
