Grocery store prices could be going up again. This time, a lack of water will play a role. Drought conditions in the country’s largest farming region are causing farmers to grow less.
High up in the Sierra Nevada mountains, Andrew Schwartz is gathering data that tells us a lot about snowpacks and their importance to the overall water supply.
These mountains hold a very important water source for California. At the Central Sierra Snow Lab, they measure and research all things atmosphere, especially snow. “Our focus is primarily on water supply as a result of what has happened over the last 30 years in water supply in California,” he explained. Diedrich said it’s due to regulatory changes, climate change, and infrastructure issues with collecting and transporting water. “It’s forced us to change our farming practices.”
