Scientists at Stanford University and NASA say excessive pumping of wells during the drought has tapped out some underground sources of water that will never recover.
At the height of the drought, nearly 2,400 wells dried up, affecting 12,000 people, state officials said.

You never let anyone forget you are all for regress, and never progress . . . ah yes, the conservative dream of going back too the 50's where men were men and everyone else knew their place.
On a further note, the effects of drought are far from over.
March 2017 GISS temp numbers are in --

2nd hottest March in the record, behind last year's March.

News Flash!!!!!
Drought in California is not new. It's a reoccurring event.
California has suffered drought in the past that have lasted HUNDREDS of years.
The problem of wells being pumped dry will continue as the population continues to demand water
If we expect to sustain our way of life in California, we need to look forward and come up with a sustainable water program.
Do you realize you just used the word "sustainable"?
In an effort to educate and enlighten.....
California drought: Past dry periods have lasted more than 200 years, scientists say
California’s current drought is being billed as the driest period in the state’s recorded rainfall history. But scientists who study the West’s long-term climate patterns say the state has been parched for much longer stretches before that 163-year historical period began.
And they worry that the “megadroughts” typical of California’s earlier history could come again.
Through studies of tree rings, sediment and other natural evidence, researchers have documented multiple droughts in California that lasted 10 or 20 years in a row during the past 1,000 years — compared to the mere three-year duration of the current dry spell. The two most severe megadroughts make the Dust Bowl of the 1930s look tame: a 240-year-long drought that started in 850 and, 50 years after the conclusion of that one, another that stretched at least 180 years.
“We continue to run California as if the longest drought we are ever going to encounter is about seven years,” said Scott Stine, a professor of geography and environmental studies at Cal State East Bay. “We’re living in a dream world.”

State officials said Friday Southern California water agencies will soon get close to a full of allotment of water — 85 percent — following several winter storms that broke rain and snow records across the state.
That’s the highest percentage meted out from the State Water Project since 2006, said Ted Thomas, a spokesman for the state Department of Water Resources said in a statement.
The announcement came one week after Gov. Jerry Brown declared the drought over in California, with the exception of four counties in the central part of the state. Officials said there’s now strong evidence that the state’s urban water supply increased by large margins this winter.

Should have known you would head out into the weeds in search of redemption . . .
Im officially calling and end of the drought.
We could begin a new drought next year, or even later this year, as we live in an arid or semi-arid region.
The last drought is history.
