We are not over the California drought yet……
……Those four and a half centuries of data revealed that the median recovery time for a dry spell like the one that happened between 2012 and 2015 was 39 years. And say you don’t trust those historical reconstructions? Using just the instrument data, the median recovery time is still 29 and a half years. That puts a two-year recovery like the one California just saw at the skinny end of the distribution—a 1 percent chance.

Cape Town Drought Exclusive – Polluted, abused and chronically low
Cape Towns primary water supply is Theewaterskloof, incidentally it also supplies Stellenbosch dam via a massive tunnel drilled straight through the mountain. Yet since our objective was chemical related we also had the opportunity to see the Palmiet, Lourensford River, Theewaterskloof and Berg River Dam. This clip releases footage showing the status of each storage dam and quite quickly identifies recent drainage as a result of pumping, I think you will understand the true depth of the crisis.
