It is not yet the worse. Californias most recent drought before this lasted from 1987 to 1992 and its considered the most severe since the state began keeping rainfall record all the way back in 1850. By 1988 the prolonged effects of the drought had become evident particularly up in the sierra. Where much of the state gets its water supply from the annual snow pack. In december of 1988, ktvus rob roth traveled to the sierra to see the effect that the drought was having there. The drought is turning even fertile parts of nevada into a dust bowl. Areas that once had plenty of water from sierra run off and understood ground wells now have none. The drought has become so severe that birds are singing their first vast refuge turn to mud. Many must now move on or starve. No one in this state is suffering more from this drought than the ranchers and farmers. Most have been barely been able to squeak by with what water theyve had. Most of these ranches and farms will be history. George warren
