- W2205846677 abstract "California is in the grip of the fourth year of a prolonged drought. Historically, California has experienced drought conditions. In fact in the medieval period (10th to the 14th Century (Stine 1994)), there was a California drought that lasted over a century. More recently, there was a serious multi-year drought when Governor Brown was in office in his first term. The early 20th century is now recognized as having been wetter than average. During these wet years, the Colorado River flows were estimated at 17 million acre-feet a year, well above the now recognized 12–14 million acre-feet in an average year. Similarly, the state’s water supply has also been overestimated (Grantham and Viers 2014). These inflated estimates have led to water systems designed and predicated on those unusually wet times, and have also enabled land development patterns commensurate with over estimation of available water. Not only have dams and pipes been over constructed, but water contracts have been developed, promising more water than is available and thereby creating pressure to deliver water even when there is uncertainty about rainfall from year to year. Compounding this situation is California water law, a cobbled together marriage of appropriative and riparian water rights inherited from the early-to-mid 20th century. A legacy of senior and junior water rights also exists, which enables senior water rights holders to continue to receive water, even as junior rights holders have their water access cut off. There is no principle of distribution among farmers that could enable junior rights holders or small, non-rights holders to receive water; rather water is treated as a property right. At the same time, as water becomes increasingly scarce, those who can afford to are drilling more and deeper wells that J Extreme Events, Vol. 2, No. 1 (2015) 1502002 (5 pages) © World Scientific Publishing Company DOI: 10.1142/S2345737615020029" @default.
