California exploring options to combat the drought
As California deals with a lingering drought, Governor Gavin Newsom is announcing his plans to address the ongoing water crisis in the state. He says the time has come to invest tens of billions of dollars in water recycling, storage and desalinization over the next two decades, this to shore up supply as the state gets drier and hotter. The Governor’s proposal coming as drought continues to grip the western half of the U.S, the State Department of Water Resources saying California may lose 10% of its water supply by 2040.
