Description
Californias Sierra Nevada snowpack has melted early, leaving just 18% of average behind, the second lowest since 1950. Scientists blame climate change for the record March heat, which could dry out forests, spike wildfire dangers, and stress water sources. The upper Colorado River snowpack is also at 23%, squeezing another big water source. State leaders are pushing new projects and calling for careful water use as patterns match old climate predictions.
