California, enye yezindawo ezivakashelwa kakhulu e-United States of America, ungaphuthelwa ukubona ilanga liphuma emkhathizwe ngokushesha kunokulindelekile. Njengoba i-NASA ichaza, kucwiliswa ngokuphelele. Kubangelwa yini? Isomiso.
Abantu baseCalifornia bathola iningi lamanzi abo amnandi ngokukhishwa ngaphansi komhlaba, okwenza amazinga okuncipha eSan Joaquin Valley, enkulu kunazo zonke esifundazweni, akhathazeke kakhulu, ngokusho kombiko ovela ePropulsion Laboratory. Ukusabela.
UMqondisi Wezinsiza Zamanzi waseCalifornia uWilliam Croyle uthe “ukwehla komhlaba sekuhlasele izifunda eziningi zaseCalifornia, kodwa izinga lamanje libeka engcupheni ingqalasizinda ekhonza izigidi zabantu. Ukukhishwa kwamanzi angaphansi komhlaba kubeka engcupheni lona kanye uhlelo olunikeza iSan Joaquin Valley ngamanzi.
Isigodi saseSan Joaquín singesinye semifula eCentral Valley, futhi sisuka esizalweni semifula iSan Joaquín neSacramento siye enyakatho yentaba yaseTehachapi eningizimu nasuka eSoerras amaningi asogwini wezwe uye enyakatho. Umhlaba usetshenziswa ngabalimi, kepha futhi nezinkampani zamanzi okuphuza eziletha uketshezi oluncane oluyigugu kubantu baseCalifornia.
Kodwa-ke, yonke imbangela inomphumela wayo: Ngenxa yokukhishwa kwawo, izinga lamanzi kulesi sigodi lehle ngamamitha ayi-8,5 kusukela ngo-1920. Futhi hhayi lokho kuphela, kepha ukwehla komhlaba kulimaze izinkulungwane zemithombo yamanzi angaphansi komhlaba futhi kunganciphisa unomphela umthamo wamanzi okugcina amanzi asendaweni. Ngakho-ke isimo sibi kakhulu, ngoba ngokuzayo bangaba nezinkinga eziningi zokuthola amanzi.
