The southwest is ready for rain, but will it be enough to restore the climate devastated by the ongoing drought?
Researchers say it will help, but it won’t be enough.
Years of drought can’t be erased by a single, wet season. Drought is a water-balance issue, and the deficit in water has been piling up for four years. It is unlikely that a season or two of more rainfall than usual will make up the difference.
