New water use restrictions are coming to several Southern California cities.
As California is increasing restrictions on water usage, it may not feel like it, but drought here is less severe than many places around the world.More than 1.4 billion people were affected by drought between 2000 and 2019. Drought affects the second-highest number of people, after flooding. Africa suffered from drought more frequently than any other continent with 134 droughts, of which 70 occurred in East Africa.
One-third of global carbon dioxide emissions is offset by the carbon uptake of terrestrial ecosystems, yet their capacity to sequester carbon is highly sensitive to drought events. The drought indicators describe current wet or dry conditions, expressed as a percentile showing the probability of occurrence for that particular location and time of year. Lower values mean drier than normal, and higher values mean wetter than normal.More than 4 million people in Southern California have been asked to suspend outdoor watering for 15 days, starting on Sept. 6 as officials work to fix a leak in a 36-mile section of the Colorado River aqueduct.
