How bad is California’s drought? Bad enough to make farmers turn to tequila.
About 40 farmers and distillers gathered last week at an inaugural agave symposium at the University of California, Davis, to explore the prospects of growing agave in California and making alcohol from it.
Hopes of a big drought busting year in California are starting to look grim after what felt like a great start to the rainy season.
January delivered little, if any, rain and snow and now February is off to an equally dry start. The winter whiplash continues to challenge water managers and with climate trends showing more of this boom or bust pattern, the state is rethinking its water supply system.
Now the state wants to head underground to explore what could be its biggest water storage potential.
