"California in the United States is dying of thirst." How much water shortage is there in California now?

California is probably very short of water right now, and residents and animals are also affected. In fact, to expand the scope, it is not just California that is short of water, but the entire earth is in a state of water shortage. Although there is a lot of water on the earth, most of it is not drinkable water and is not a freshwater resource, so there is a water shortage everywhere. . But the situation in California is also very serious, because there has been no precipitation in California for a long time, and the entire California is enveloped in waves of heat, making people feel suffocated and unable to breathe.

Because there are many pastures in California, but because of the hot weather, a lot of the pasture has withered and stopped growing. Because there is no pasture, many cattle and sheep are starving and the most important thing is that there is not much. The water is drinkable. This is not serious. Because of the hot weather and no precipitation, there have been several wildfires in California, and the entire California has become lifeless and lifeless. Moreover, the urban water supply system is not very complete, and there are frequent water outages. All these factors add up, and there is really no desire for people to stay in California.

So teachers and students at the University of California, Berkeley, have thought of many ways to survive. One of them is to collect moisture that is everywhere. They invented an artifact to collect moisture. In fact, there is still moisture in the air. It contains a lot of water, so this artifact is to turn invisible water vapor into liquid water that can be seen and drank. Moreover, the cost of this artifact is very low, and the operation difficulty is not high. You only need to dig a large pit in an open area, put the equipment in, and then the water vapor will flow along the pipe into the storage tank.

Because this equipment uses a unique cooling system, it is very efficient and the cost is not high. This can effectively alleviate the drinking water pressure of California residents. But I think in the current situation, everyone should learn to save water and learn to use water for multiple purposes. Otherwise, humans themselves will suffer in the end. If each person saves a drop of water, the world will save several tons of water.
