For all the torrential rains soaking California, it’s not enough to end the drought that has dogged the state for years.
The rains are critical in breaking the worst period of drought in the United States southwest in 1,200 years. The dryness has hurt crops across California’s Central Valley, one of the world’s largest agriculture economies, put large cities under stress, threatened water supplies for many smaller communities and contributed to some of the largest and deadliest wildfires in state history. Dwindling flow in the Colorado River bordering California has also put hydroelectric supplies in danger.
Even then, drought has left lingering challenges for California, according to Brad Rippey, a meteorologist with the US Department of Agriculture and co-author of the drought report. Years of pumping ground water has led to a collapse of underground chambers where water was held and the sinking of lands on the surface.
