Wide swaths of the United States remain mired in one of the worst droughts in recent times, prompting some to describe conditions as near “apocalyptic.”
California, which is essentially the nation’s fruit basket, has been particularly hard hit. As noted by The Economic Collapse Blog, some scientists and climatologists are beginning to use phrases like “the worst drought” and “as bad as you can imagine” to describe the current situation in the western half of the nation.
“Thanks to an epic drought that never seems to end,” reported the blog, “we are witnessing the beginning of a water crisis that most people never even dreamed was possible in this day and age.”
How bad? California is preparing to ban people from watering lawns and washing cars — but if the drought persists, trust that such measures will pale in comparison to the tight restrictions that are on the way.
