There is no end in sight for California’s drought

 The state’s 39 million people are growing accustomed to the reality that there is not enough water for everyone — agriculture, industry, homeowners, fish and wildlife. 

Small water systems are in crisis. With groundwater supplies collapsing, many wells in rural areas have run dry, requiring water to be trucked in. 

A paucity of rain has made wildfire a persistent menace up and down the state.
