editI added Floods in California#January 2017: California flood which I think is very relevant to an article that about drought in california. What do you think? Daniel.Cardenas (talk) 21:42, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
End of drought
editI changed the intro to indicate the drought in the past tense. There are plenty of references for most of California being out of drought like this one: http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-drought-gone-20170223-story.html Only a small portion of California is classified as being in drought according to U.S. drought monitor. The snowpack is 150% above normal and all of the major reservoirs are past full and spilling water. What do you think? Daniel.Cardenas (talk) 21:44, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
- I don't think it should be said as officially over until either a very small portion left of drought in California or the entire state is gone. Even with a supported ref like that, I think it is in my opinion borderline-WP:OR. --MarioProtIV (talk/contribs) 23:04, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

La Nina?
editHow did La Nina end the drought? I thought El Nino did?
- El Nino didn't end the drought. If you were paying attention, and if you look up some articles, you'll see that there was actually a weak La Nina in place when the powerful storms were drenching California. However, the La Nina ended shortly this drought did. LightandDark2000 (talk) 13:31, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
Cause?
editWas climate change a significant factor in the cause for the drought? SirLladnar (talk) 16:54, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
- Of course, it was. However, I think we need to organize different causes and factors to the drought comprehensively so that it might be clearer for readers to understand the cause.HyperDockDuet (talk) 17:00, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
