California cities and farms will get 10% of requested 明言する／公表する water 供給（する）s when 2024 begins
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - California water 機関s serving 27 million people will get 10% of the water they requested from 明言する／公表する 供給（する）s to start 2024 予定 to a 比較して 乾燥した，日照りの 落ちる, even though the 明言する／公表する's 貯蔵所s are in good 形態／調整, 明言する／公表する 公式の／役人s said Friday.
The 明言する／公表する's Department of Water 資源s said there was not much rain or snow in October and November. Those months are 批判的な to developing the 初期の water 配分, which can be 増加するd if 条件s 改善する, 公式の／役人s said.
"California´s water year is off to a 比較して 乾燥した，日照りの start," Karla Nemeth, director of the Department of Water 資源s, said in a 声明. "While we are 希望に満ちた that this El Ni?o pattern will 生成する wet 天候, this 早期に in the season we have to 計画（する） with drier 条件s in mind."
El Ni?o is a periodic and 自然に occurring 気候 event that 転換s 天候 patterns across the globe. It can 原因（となる） extreme 天候 条件s 範囲ing from 干ばつ to flooding. It 攻撃する，衝突するs hardest in December through February.
Much of California´s water 供給（する） comes from snow that 落ちるs in the mountains during the winter and enters the watershed as it melts through spring. Some is 蓄える／店d in 貯蔵所s for later use, while some is sent south through 大規模な pumping systems.
The system, known as the 明言する／公表する Water 事業／計画（する）, 供給するs water to two-thirds of the 明言する／公表する´s people and 1,172 square miles (3,035 square キロメーターs) of 農地. The 主要都市の Water 地区 of Southern California, which services Los Angeles and much of Southern California, relies on the 明言する／公表する for about one-third of its water 供給（する）.
California 公式の／役人s make 初期の water 配分s every year on Dec. 1 and update them 月毎の in 返答 to snowpack, 降雨 and other 条件s.< /p>
This year's 配分, while low, is still better than in 最近の years when the 明言する／公表する was in the depths of a three-year 干ばつ. In December 2021, 機関s were told they would receive no 明言する／公表する 供給（する）s to start 2022, except for what was needed for basic health and safety. That 配分 結局 went up わずかに.
A year ago, the 明言する／公表する 配分するd 5% of what 機関s requested. By April, though, the 明言する／公表する 増加するd that 配分 to 100% after a 干ばつ-破産した／（警察が）手入れするing 一連の winter 嵐／襲撃するs that filled up the 明言する／公表する's 貯蔵所s.
現在／一般に, most of the 明言する／公表する's 貯蔵所s are above 普通の／平均（する）, 含むing Lake Oroville, the 機関's largest.
Adel Hagekhalil, general 経営者／支配人 of the 主要都市の Water 地区 of Southern California, said 配分s will hopefully 増加する, but there's no counting on it and the 明言する／公表する is wise to proceed with 警告を与える.
"We must be 用意が出来ている for the 可能性 that these 乾燥した，日照りの 条件s will continue," Hagekhalil said in a 声明.
