For the farmers in a state that produces a third of the country’s fruits and vegetables, the help couldn't come soon enough.
The amount of cropland not planted this year is expected to increase 33 percent over last year, the UC Davis researchers said, to cover about 564,000 acres. The longer the drought persists the lower water levels will fall in reservoirs and aquifers. Approximately 50% of the state is experiencing some form of drought, with a large portion facing moderate, severe, and extreme drought.
Dropping prices are an indirect result of the drought. The clearest impact of warming on drought is when higher temperatures cause more evaporation and increase water demand, as has happened with this drought.

Obama on Friday announced $15 million in assistance to help farmers and ranchers institute water conservation practices — a sum that includes $5 million for California and $10 million for parched areas across the Southwest. With a warming climate, this drought might be pivotal for ecological changes in California’s forests, particularly in tree density and species composition ( Young et al. He also said that, among other measures, he has called on federal facilities in California to immediately curb water use — including a moratorium on new landscaping projects that are not deemed essential, according to Reuters.

The millions of dead trees in California’s forests has implications for wildfires, erosion, and public safety. Embed this data in a secure (HTTPS) page: Creative During a briefing for the California Department of Food & Agriculture, scientists from the University of California, Davis, told officials that based on their preliminary research and modeling, the drought is resulting in a harder economic pinch this year than it was in 2014. Now, more than two-thirds of the state is in the worst two categories of drought established by the U.S. Drought Monitor. Other key findings of the drought’s effects in 2014: * Direct costs to agriculture total $1.5 billion (revenue losses of $1 billion and $500,000 in additional pumping costs). The White House has said that the millions of federal aid — which was contained in a $956 billion farm bill that Congress passed and Obama signed last week — is a crucial step. . The record-breaking drought in California — brought about by a severe lack of precipitation, especially mountain snows — has exacted a $2.7 billion toll on the state’s economy because of agricultural losses, researchers said Tuesday. “One of the saddest things about the losses caused by the drought is that they could have been prevented,” said the foundation’s president, Paul Wegner, in a news release. "It's not going to be one big tsunami where you're gonna having something get wiped out in one big wave. UC Davis researchers forecast the socio-economic effects of the drought on California agriculture for 2014 and beyond. While the state has one of the epicenters of technological innovation in Silicon Valley, when it comes to “one of our absolutely critical resources, water, we’re running in the blind,” he said. Roughly 80% of Califo…
