I don't know where Jason is, but it doesn't rain at all in most of California during May-September, during which our water generally comes from melting snowpack in the Sierras, Colorado River, etc. But thanks for the good thought.
I hope the following is useful to someone in South Texas, although it may not be the most encouraging reading.
You might want to look at the recent conference in Austin, Climate Change Impacts on Texas Water. The Proceedings includes Texas Water and Warming, esp. p.23-, and The Changing Climate of South Texas 1900-2100.
Most Californians are dead men walking. The water from the Colorado river is slowly going away, as you can see by watching how Lake Mead is drying up. Death also is coming to Nevada and Az.
Thanks for the heads up.
lol
Depends on where in Californina the men are walking. Your statement is certainly true for Southern California, but not so much for the Bay Area and Northern California, as these areas get none of their water from the Colorado system. We have some problems of our own here in the Bay Area with water, but being dependent on a watershed a couple of states away for our water is not one of them.
