Current trends and climate models suggest loss of at least a quarter of the snowmelt runoff by 2050.
Warmer weather would ultimately mean changes in precipitation timing and amounts, changes in urban and agricultural water demands, more flooding in the winter, and less runoff from snow during the spring. With greater cons-ervation measures and by expanding the state’s water management and delivery system, including investment in groundwater storage and conveyance facilities, California can prepare for these changes.
