Droughts in California
A terrible drought has created trouble in California, USA. A drought is a long period of time with little rain or snow. That means there isn’t enough water. Droughts are natural disasters. But unlike earthquakes or hurricanes(飓风), droughts do not happen suddenly. 21
The drought in the western United States began four years ago. California has been hit hardest. About 95% of the state now has serious drought conditions. About 3,500 people in East Porterville, California, have no running water in their homes. 22 Some people haven’t had running water for years. Rivers and lakes have been drying up, too. That’s a problem for fish and animals. 23 As a result, farms might lose more than $2 billion in 2015. More than 18,000 farm jobs have been lost.
Scientists aren’t sure when the problem will end. A rainy autumn and winter could help. Experts say it will take 11 trillion gallons(加仑) of water to end the drought. 24 They take the water home for washing dishes, cleaning toilets, and more. 25 They’ve stopped watering lawns(草坪) and washing cars. “We need to make the best use of what we have,” explains weather scientist Michael Anderson.
A. Instead, they happen slowly.
B. Without water, farms can’t grow as much food.
C. Future droughts in California are likely to last longer.
D. That’s because the drought has caused their wells to dry up.
E. All across California, people are saving water any way they can.
F. California is a state located on the West Coast of the United States.
G. Many people drive to fire stations to fetch water.
