Two crossed lines that form an 'X'. It indicates a way to close an interaction, or dismiss a notification.The supply and demand of California water are geographically and seasonally disconnected, a trend that could be exacerbated by climate change.
There are two immediate sources of water in California — surface water, which is water found in things like rivers, lakes, and reservoirs, and groundwater like that found in aquifers. Water that comes from snowmelt and precipitation can become surface water or groundwater, and groundwater can be naturally distributed to surface water when groundwater levels are high.
, 40% goes to the agricultural segment, and 10% is urban use. There is constant interplay between these three, as they have competing interests over a commodity with limited supply. Let's look at all three.
Rising temperatures also mean less snowpack will be available once spring arrives. Estimates suggest that the Sierra Nevada snowpack can experience over the remainder of this century. The change in temperature also means that the timing of the snowpack melt will be impacted, and more water will run off earlier in the year. This alters the balance of storage and use currently employed in California, and months with the highest water demand could be even drier.
