Book excerpt: California experienced severe water supply shortages in 2009, which led to economic disruption across the state, incl. losses in agricultural areas in the western portion of the Central Valley ¿ areas already experiencing declines in the housing industry and the economic downturn in general. At the same time, several fish species whose habitat lie at the heart of California¿s water supply system and throughout its northern rivers are in decline and some face the possibility of extinction. This situation too has had economic implications, resulting in job and income losses in northern California.

This book was released on 1993 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document reports some background information on the extent and severity of the 1987-91 California drought, evaluates existing work on the economic effects of the drought, and presents an agenda for future research to make an overall estimate of the economic costs of the drought in urban areas. It recommends a survey of urban water agencies to identify drought management policies and the resulting cutbacks in water use by various customer classes; to identify an estimate of economic losses incurred by residential customers using demand curve estimates or contingent valuation methodology; to identify contingent valuation surveys of commercial sectors hard-hit by the drought, such as nurseries and landscape contractors; and to identify a brief assessment of the industrial sector, which was mostly protected from cutbacks that would have resulted in lost output or jobs. This research was partially sponsored by California Urban Water Agencies, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization of 11 urban wholesale and retail water agencies.

House of Representatives Subcommittee on Water and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-12-29 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since becoming a state in 1850, California has experienced natural drought multiple times. These drought periods and the need to provide water to a rapidly growing population and farms led to an innovative and complex water storage and delivery system. Since northern California contains over two-thirds of the water resources and southern California has two-thirds of the human population, the federal government, through the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), and the State of California (State) built the Central Valley Project (CVP) and the State Water Project (SWP), respectively, to store and convey water. Much of California experienced severe to exceptional drought over the last four years. As a result, California Governor Jerry Brown issued a drought emergency in 2014 and a first-ever executive order in April 2015 requiring the State Water Resources Control board to implement reductions in cities and towns as a means to cut water use by 25 percent. Water cutbacks in 2015 had major impacts on most parts of California. Such water shortages helped cause the City of Mendota, a community heavily dependent on irrigated agriculture and the jobs associated with it, to experience 34% unemployment. In addition, lack of surface water storage prompted many to tap groundwater reserves for water needs. In a few areas, this pumping has caused ground subsidence as a result of decreased aquifer levels. Although various estimates on the drought's impact in 2015 are still being calculated, some found that it was devastating - particularly to California agriculture.
