Causes: ridiculously resilient ridge (rrr): prolonged, enhanced high-pressure ridge off the. West coast during last 3 winters: the ridge deflected jet stream, which normally guides wet winter storms to. It shows that it is 3 times more likely than in the preindustrial period. In 2014, we lost around 6. 6 million acre feet of surface water because of the drought; increase of 75% groundwater. December 2, 2015: but large cuts in crop acreage led to the loss of . 2 billion in revenues and 17,100 jobs: reasons why food prices have gone up, wildlife: impacts on fish and birds.
