Rain Forecast From Atmospheric Rivers Poses Challenge, But Advancements Are Being Made

January 11, 2023/in Uncategorized /by Ed Joyce /KPBS-FM/TVby John Carroll and Roland Lizarondo

The forecast said high winds and up to an inch of rain in San Diego Tuesday. The winds showed, but the rain? That was a different story.

How much water you got from this latest atmospheric-river charged storm depended on where you live.

For an example, as of noon Tuesday, San Onofre had received a little over an inch of rain, but San Diego International Airport received just three-tenths of an inch.

California Had a Watershed Climate Year, But Time is Running Out

December 29, 2022/in California and the U.S., Home Headline, Media Coverage, Uncategorized /by Ed Joyce /Inside Climate Newsby Liza Gross

California made historic investments in climate measures this year, as state leaders warned of current and escalating climate risks. “We’re dealing with such extremes that all our modeling, even updated modeling, needs to be thrown out,” said Gov. Gavin Newsom when he signed more than 40 bills to fight climate change in September. “The hots are just so much hotter. The dries are so much drier.”

Opinion: Finally, the Feds May Force Action to Save the Colorado River. What if It Comes Too Late?

November 3, 2022/in California and the U.S., Home Headline, Media Coverage, Uncategorized /by Ed Joyce /The Arizona Republicby Joanna Allhands

Finally, the ball is rolling to force action on a plan to save the Colorado River. But will it come in time to make a difference? The seven states that rely on the river have been unable to voluntarily stop using enough water to keep a rapidly tanking Lake Mead and Lake Powell on life support. The feds stepped back from a threat this summer to force action if states couldn’t agree, preferring to rely on voluntary actions instead.

Rohnert Park Company Working On More Efficient and Earth-Friendly Ways to Get the Salt Out of Sea Water

September 1, 2022/in California and the U.S., Home Headline, Media Coverage, Uncategorized /by Chelsea Campos /The Press Democratby Mary Fricker

As the current drought stretches into its third year, demands to desalinate ocean water rise, especially in such places as Sonoma County and its more than 55 miles of coastline. But putting a desalination plant on the Sonoma County coast seems unlikely, especially after the California Coastal Commission in May rejected construction of a desalination plant in Huntington Beach that had been studied for more than 15 years, said entrepreneur John Webley.

How Climate Change Spurs Megadroughts

August 26, 2022/in California and the U.S., Home Headline, Media Coverage, Uncategorized /by Gayle Falkenthal /Yale Climate Connectionsby Shannon Osaka

On an afternoon in late June, the San Luis Reservoir – a nine-mile lake about an hour southeast of San Jose, California – shimmered in 102-degree heat. A dusty, winding trail led down into flatlands newly created by the shrinking waterline. Seven deer, including a pair of fawns, grazed on tall grasses that, in wetter times, would have been at least partially underwater. On a distant ridge, wind turbines turned languidly.

That day, the reservoir, California’s sixth-largest and a source of water for millions of people, was just 40% full. Minerals deposited by the receding waters had turned the reservoir’s lower banks white, like the rings on a bathtub. Discarded clothing, empty bottles, and a lone shoe sat scattered across the newly exposed, parched ground. An interactive graphic in the visitor’s center reported that this year’s snowpack – which provides the water that travels from the Sacramento River Delta into the reservoir itself – was zero percent of the yearly average.

Meet the Siblings Making Hydropower That Actually Protects Rivers and Fish

June 29, 2022/in Uncategorized /by Ed Joyce /TIMEby Amy Gunia

Hydropower is the world’s biggest source of renewable energy, generating about 16% of the global electricity supply. And it will continue to play a key role as the world looks to meet net-zero targets, not least of all because, like a battery, it can store massive amounts of energy for later and quickly release it in moments of peak demand.

Western Half of U.S. To See Higher Fire Risk This Spring From Drought

April 13, 2022/in California and the U.S., Home Headline, Media Coverage, Uncategorized /by Ed Joyce /The Washington Postby Diana Leonard

Large swaths of the western and central United States are expected to see heightened wildfire risk this spring and summer because of ongoing severe drought and warmer- and drier-than-normal weather in the coming months. Fire danger is already high in some regions as active weather patterns funnel dry winds over drought-stricken landscapes.

That risk is on display this week in the Plains states, where fierce winds are targeting parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, New Mexico, Colorado and Nebraska.

California Drought: Disappointing Rain and Snow Mean Tighter Water Rules Ahead

April 7, 2022/in California and the U.S., Home Headline, Media Coverage, Uncategorized /by Ed Joyce /San Francisco Chronicleby Yoohyun Jung and Kurtis Alexander

California’s wet season wrapped up as a big disappointment, setting the stage for a third year of drought.

Most of the state — about 96% — was categorized as having severe drought conditions as March came to a close, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. The continuing drought suggests more water restrictions are forthcoming as supplies run low.
