no end in sight? La Niña and if its yellow it does mellow?
"The wet winter the American south-west has hoped for as it battles extreme drought and heat is increasingly unlikely to materialize as scientists now predict that a phenomenon known as La Niña will develop for the second year in a row.The weather system could intensify the worst effects of the drought that much of the region already finds itself in, including higher wildfire risks and water shortages through 2022."
Many of us who have had drought dry up our dams and tanks know the saying. "If its yellow let it Mellow. If its brown flush it down"

What just might be a real kick in the guts in when after 20 odd years it does start to rain another issue may be tricky plus "For the past three years, the nitrate-removal system hasn’t run at all. “This was built for the old normal,” Corrigan said. Thanks to the drought, there’s been little runoff and hence few nitrates in the water. The problem is that farmers don’t stop applying fertilizer or running large breeding operations because of drought. So the nitrates build up. When they’re eventually washed into rivers and reservoirs, they could overwhelm the system and leave the city unable to meet demand.“The worst-case scenario for us is the drought ends with a wet spring and a huge flush of nitrates.”" Bloomberg - Are you a robot?
