      • In response, state legislators introduced proposals to regulate groundwater withdrawals. The bills were fiercely opposed by farm groups, which worried about declining land values. But the push gained momentum from new satellite radar images that dramatically depicted the state's subsidence problems.

  2. Jul 30, 2018 · This paper summarizes the magnitude and impacts of the 2012–2016 California drought. The paper then reviews innovations arising from the drought in the larger historical context of water management in California. Lessons for California and for modern drought management are then discussed.

  3. Jan 27, 2019 · We recently summarized major lessons from California’s 2012-2016 drought (Lund et al. 2018). (Wet year failures from 2017 brought additional lessons.) California accommodated the most recent droughts and floods fairly well – with some important exceptions.

  4. Abstract: Californias 5-year drought has ended, even as its aftermath lingers. From 2012–2016 much or all of California was under severe drought conditions, with greatly diminished precipitation, snowpack, and streamflow and higher temperatures.

  5. Jan 17, 2014 · Because of their duration and severity for both lack of rainfall and runoff, the 1928-34 drought, which lasted seven years, and the 1987-92 drought, which lasted six years, are compared to the 2012-16 five-year drought, to assess similarities and differences.

  6. Mar 18, 2021 · We use satellite records of vegetation greenness to study the biological patterns and environmental drivers of ecosystem response to an extreme and persistent drought—the 2012–2016 California Drought.

  7. Mar 7, 2019 · In this study, we investigated California vegetation responses to the recent prolonged 2012–2016 drought, which was potentially the driest 4-year span in the last 1,200 years. The overall vegetation of the state has been presumed to be severely affected.

  8. Temporal patterns of ecosystem productivity during the 2012–2016 California drought and the Breaks for Additive Season and Trend (BFAST) terminology in our analyses. We identified three major types of drought responses for vegetations in California: (a) An example of a gradual decline in the Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) followed by
