SACRAMENTO, Calif - iSebe leMithombo yaManzi (DWR) namhlanje lenze uphando lwesine lwekhephu kwixesha lonyaka kwiSikhululo sasePhillips.Uvavanyo lwezandla lurekhode i-126.5 intshi yobunzulu bekhephu kunye namanzi ekhephu alingana ne-54 intshi, eyi-221 yepesenti yomndilili wale ndawo ngoAprili 3. Amanzi ekhephu alinganayo alinganisa ubungakanani bamanzi aqulethwe kwi-snowpack kwaye yinxalenye ephambili Uqikelelo lonikezelo lwamanzi lwe-DWR.Ufundo lwe-elektroniki lwe-DWR ukusuka kwi-130 zoluvo lwekhephu ezibekwe kulo lonke ilizwe lubonisa amanzi ekhephu ekhephu kwilizwe lonke alingana ne-61.1 intshi, okanye i-237 yepesenti yomndilili walo mhla.
"Izaqhwithi ezinamandla kunye nezikhukhula kulo nyaka ngumzekelo wamva nje wokuba imozulu yaseCalifornia iya isiba kakhulu," utshilo uMlawuli weDWR uKarla Nemeth.“Emva kweyona minyaka mithathu imbi kakhulu kwirekhodi kunye neempembelelo ezitshabalalisayo zembalela kuluntu kurhulumente wonke, i-DWR itshintshe ngokukhawuleza kwimpendulo yezikhukhula kunye noqikelelo lokunyibilika kwekhephu okuzayo.Sibonelele ngoncedo lwezikhukhula kuluntu oluninzi oluthe kwiinyanga nje ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo lujongene neempembelelo ezimandla zembalela.”
Kanye njengokuba iminyaka yembalela ibonise ukuba inkqubo yamanzi yaseCalifornia ijongene nemingeni emitsha yemozulu, kulo nyaka ubonisa indlela iziseko zokhukula zombuso ziya kuqhubeka zijongene nemingeni eqhutywe yimozulu yokuhamba nokugcina ubuninzi bala manzi omkhukula kangangoko kunokwenzeka.
Isiphumo salo nyaka se-1 ka-Epreli kuthungelwano lwesivamvo sekhephu kwilizwe lonke siphezulu kunalo naluphi na olunye ufundo ukusukela oko kwasekwa uthungelwano lwesivamvo sekhephu phakathi koo-1980.Phambi kokuba uthungelwano lusekwe, isishwankathelo sowe-1983 ku-Epreli 1 kwilizwe lonke ukusuka kwimilinganiselo yekhosi yekhephu eyenziwe ngesandla yayingama-227 ekhulwini lomndilili.Ngo-1952 ngo-Epreli 1 isishwankathelo selizwe ngokubanzi kwimilinganiselo yekhosi yekhephu yayingama-237 ekhulwini lomndilili.
"Isiphumo salo nyaka siza kuhla njengomnye weminyaka enkulu yekhephu erekhodiweyo eCarlifonia," utshilo uSean de Guzman, umphathi weDWR's Snow Survey and Water Supply Forecasting Unit.“Nangona imilinganiselo yekhosi yekhephu ka-1952 yayibonisa umphumo ofanayo, zazimbalwa iikhosi zekhephu ngelo xesha, nto leyo eyayisenza kube nzima ukuthelekisa iziphumo zanamhlanje.Ngenxa yokuba iikhosi zekhephu ezongezelelweyo zongezwa ekuhambeni kweminyaka, kunzima ukuthelekisa iziphumo ngokuchanekileyo kumashumi eminyaka ngokuchanekileyo, kodwa ikhephu lalo nyaka ngokuqinisekileyo lelona likhulu libonwe ngurhulumente ukusukela ngeminyaka yee-1950s.”
Kwimilinganiso yekhosi yekhephu yaseCalifornia, ngo-1952, 1969 kunye no-1983 kuphela abarekhoda iziphumo kwilizwe lonke ngaphezulu kwama-200 epesenti yomndilili we-1 ka-Epreli.Ngelixa ungaphezulu komndilili kulo lonke ilizwe kulo nyaka, i-snowpack yohluka kakhulu ngokwengingqi.Ipaki yekhephu yaseSouthern Sierra okwangoku ngama-300 epesenti yomndilili we-1 ka-Epreli kwaye uMbindi weSierra ukwipesenti ezingama-237 zomndilili we-1 ka-Epreli.Nangona kunjalo, i-Northern Sierra ebaluleke kakhulu, apho awona manzi angaphezulu komhlaba akhoyo, akwi-192 yeepesenti yomndilili we-1 ka-Epreli.
Izaqhwithi kulo nyaka zibangele iimpembelelo kulo lonke ilizwe kubandakanya izikhukula kuluntu lwasePajaro kunye noluntu lwaseSacramento, Tulare, kunye neMerced counties.I-FOC incede abantu baseCarlifonia ngokubonelela ngeengxowa zesanti ezingaphezulu kwe-1.4 yesigidi, ngaphezulu kwesigidi esi-1 seenyawo zeplastiki, kunye neenyawo ezingaphezu kwe-9,000 zokuqinisa udonga lwemisipha, kulo lonke ilizwe ukususela ngoJanuwari.
Ngomhla wama-24 kuMatshi, i-DWR ibhengeze ukwanda kweProjekthi yaManzi kaRhulumente (SWP) eqikelelweyo ukuya kuma-75 ekhulwini, ukusuka kwi-35 yeepesenti ebhengezwe ngoFebruwari, ngenxa yokuphuculwa kokunikezelwa kwamanzi karhulumente.I-Rhuluneli i-Newsom iye yabuyisela umva izibonelelo ezingxamisekileyo zembalela ezingasadingekiyo ngenxa yeemeko eziphuculweyo zamanzi, ngelixa igcina amanye amanyathelo aqhubeka nokwakha ukuqina kwamanzi ixesha elide kunye nokuxhasa imimandla kunye noluntu olujongene nemingeni yokubonelela ngamanzi.
Ngelixa izaqhwithi zasebusika ziye zanceda ikhephu kunye namadama, amanzi aphantsi komhlaba acotha kakhulu ukuchacha.Iindawo ezininzi ezisemaphandleni zisajongene nemingeni yokubonelela ngamanzi, ingakumbi uluntu oluxhomekeke kumanzi aphantsi komhlaba athe aphelelwa ngenxa yembalela ixesha elide.Iimeko zembalela yexesha elide kwi-Colorado River Basin ziya kuqhubeka nokuba nefuthe kunikezelo lwamanzi kwizigidi zabantu baseCalifornia.Urhulumente uyaqhubeka nokukhuthaza
