The Idea Of Global Warming Is An Abstraction To Most Folks. However, Very Shortly We Who Live In Southern California Will Get A First-Hand Demonstration Of Just How It Will Affect Our Lives.
​North County Times, Tim Barnett
​The Achilles’ heel of Southern California, indeed the whole Southwest, is water. We in San Diego get our water from two main sources. The primary source is the central and northern parts of our state. The other source is the Colorado River. Water from these two sources has enabled the growth of our local civilization and economies.

Is There Any Hope For Desalination As A Way To Get Water To A Thirsty California? Mindy McIntyre And Lester Snow Debate.​

Yes, It Rained A Lot. But That Doesn't Mean We're Out Of The Woods With Regard To The State's Water Woes.
Los Angeles Times – Heather Cooley
In January, it rained a lot in Southern California. The usual street intersections flooded. Water tumbled down the Los Angeles River. And houses in areas ravaged by fires last fall seemed in danger of sliding off their hilltop perches. It was chaotic, as always — but desperately needed. The wet weather came after the driest year on record in the L.A. Basin — less than 3.5 inches of rain. Coupled with below-average rainfall in 2006, lack of rain in 2007 had fed fears of a drought. Do last month’s downpours mean we can stop worrying now?
