No Water No Crops designed by Selma P. ©2015

California has been in a serious drought for 4 years now. We have not been getting the proper amount of rainfall that we need, we have less snowfall, and the temperatures are at record highs. This is having a significant effect on our agriculture. With water becoming scarce crops are dying.

People need to pay attention to how severe this drought is. Crops and livestock are dying due to the huge amount of water lost to people using it carelessly. When food becomes scarce, it only means one thing; the prices for food go up. Not only will we have to pay more for food, but wildfires are becoming more of a problem because of our lack of rain. These are very serious problems that people need to see before it is too late.

There are many ways to help end our drought. Always make sure to monitor your water bill to make sure that you are not using excessive amounts of water. Take shorter showers. Don't leave your faucets running while brushing your teeth or washing dishes. Any way of conserving water will help us get closer to ending this terrible drought.

My idea represents how people are carelessly using valuable water for aesthetics such as having a perfect lawn or using water for their own amusement. That water goes to waste, when it could have gone to our farmers, whose crops are drying up and dying due to the lack of water they have.
