If you live in the US, remember the wide-spread unrelenting drought of Summer 2012? That summer, I recall one day they predicted a 90% chance of rain, and it still didn’t rain! It’s a bit unsettling – 95% of the Scientists have confirmed we are experiencing Climate Change, so extreme weather patterns and droughts will likely become more common. According to the U.S. Drought Monitor, year 2013 ended with 31% of the contiguous US experiencing moderate to extreme drought. As droughts become more common, it’ll become more difficult to replenish our current water supplies and our soils become dryer.
