Studies predict that precipitation in California will decrease by up to 15% over the next 20–30 years. Predict two ways that this change in water availability could affect resource availability in the area. Predict how this could affect human activity in the area. Suggest a change that could be made to adapt to or reduce the impacts.

California is known to have limited water supply which comes from surface water and water that gathers on the ground, forming rivers, lakes and streams.

If the scientific predictions work as expected and the area loses nearly 15 percent of its water source, there would be the loss of agricultural resources.

Agriculture is one of the biggest industry in California and the state may have much limited water supply to grow their crops, feed their animals and for transportation.

The government can use improved technological methods to design reservoirs that can collect water during wet times and reduce evaporation during hot periods. Also, they can create a good network of aqueducts that would aid the right distribution of water across distances.
