Scientists: High Heat Accelerating Evaporation Of Critical Water Resources

This heatwave is bad news for an already bad drought in California. Scientists say triple-digit temperatures that last days on end are evaporating water from critical resources. Scientists say triple-digit temperatures that last days on end are evaporating water from critical resources.

So now they want snitching to be normalized. It's the contemporary Gestapo State.
Stop sending water to LA. Make Los Angeles restrict *their* water consumption.

Heat dries up water. Thanks scientists.

My favorite is when they act like summer in the central valley isn't normal always hot, every single year. None of the Temps are new or different. They only thing that is different is we have a severe drought.... And those come and go as well. We can all do stuff to help reduce our water usage for sure!

You should never water during the day in any condition.

Water is the least problem California has ....

I guarantee that anyone traveling to Southern California can drive around L.A. over the next few months, and see little if any water conservation. Flowing fountains, green grass. They rarely conserve.

How come nobody talks about all of the water that's exported from California in the form of fruit and vegetables.. Obviously after decades is obviously after decades of being a net exporter is a net exporter that's tipped the balance that's tipped the balance

Richest state in the country and yet we are always in some emergency. You'd think there would be a game plan. Oh that's right, our useless excuse for a governor is more interested in partying at fancy restaurants

[justmee]

Yet they still make collecting water in rain barrels for personal use illegal. Take a guess why...

It takes 1800 gallons of water to produce 1 pound of beef. Animal agriculture is the biggest consumer of water in California.

Stop building concrete jungles and you will have water, you also need to look at the amazon, its been cleared at alarming rates as Brazil needs to feed its people and provide income. The amazon eco system provides a lots of Americas rainfall in that region. You also need look at pipe lines to be built in Florida or catchment places that can provide for the western states in times like this. Lot of water going to waste.

Here in Houston we have had so much rain I haven't had to water my lawn this entire year.

[donhuntley]

Mr science sticks again, evaporation, what's that? Don't ask anyone from the university of Santa Cruz the time of day.

[DavidVanHelden]

It is sounding like people should start drinking their pee in Cal. like in Water World ....

[michaeln.]

I've seen neighbors wasting water, but I'm not going to snitch on them. Count me out.

[flgalvez]

Be the police call on your neighbors for using water. Then watch your home burn down.

Here in Klamath Falls, OR. we are going to have a helluva uprising; because there's way too many farmers on what use to be Indian Land and the Indians still have the senior water rights. The farmers are getting no water this year, because the low levels in Klamath Lake which is restricted by the near extinction of sucker fish. There's a story behind these fish, where Creator slayed a snake and it went into the water and turned into these fish, which in turn fed the Indians.

Yeah ok it’s the “heat” not nestle and city officials stealing it! 😂

[kinginblack]

According to "Science" the water is just evaporating and relocating. Unless you would all like the share new information, you know, that who disclosure thing.

[pekanpi]

What!? Heat causes water to evaporate!? Amazing news!?
