San Diego is relatively drought-proof – and has prices to prove it
The 2021 California drought is as bad if not worse as the one in 2014, which endured for five long, dry years. As of Friday, 33 percent is in a state of “exceptional drought,” the most severe drought category given by the federal U.S. Drought Monitor. … Yet San Diego officials aren’t just calm in the face of these troubling conditions, they’re downright celebratory. The Water Authority initially scheduled a press conference and photo op to tout its “drought-safe” status and “how far the region has come since prior droughts,” but postponed the event when Mayor Todd Gloria couldn’t make it.
