In reply to the discussion: Worst Drought in 1,000 Years Could Begin in Eight Years [View all]FirstLight
(13,352 posts)4. Yep...Tahoe is bone dry too
Seems every storm that comes thru they say "OH! it's gonna be x-inches!" and then we just get spit on... Supposedly it's falling at the upper elevations, but I can bet Mt Tallac will be snow free by June...
What do you do for water out there? Is there an aquifer underground?
I mean, with the lake here, we will be hatin' it, but there's still water for drinking, etc...I guess that is one reason I haven't moved to the valley, I would be nervous in years to come about water.

Wait until the aquifers underneath the Midwest run dry. Then we'll be in horrible problems.

No, not yet, it hasn't, not here in the States anyhow, and I'm not convinced it'll happen soon.

Is "permanent climate conditions" an actual term of art? Google hits all go back to the same source,
