In our area, Solano County struggle majorly with the water supply. Our major factors for water supply through the county come from ground water wells, the State Water Project, and the Solano County Water Agency that is located in areas around Lake Berryessa, Napa, Vallejo and Lake Curry. These water projects provide supply for agricultural districts for farmers to produce food and sell the cities. In order for our farmers to be successful, we need the right amount of water distributed throughout the year. But unfortunately, our county is in serious drought, which was declared by the US Small Business Administration which could potentially continue through 2022.
The cause of the drought could potentially be from drastic weather conditions that cause local wildfires or lack of rain, unnecessary use of water supply such as: over watering grass, holding large water events, filling large masses of water that do not benefit households/business, etc. Due to only some of these causes, these make great impacts of the drought in Solano County and makes it harder for farmers and small businesses to produce crops and other necessities for life. This drought has put many businesses in troubled places and effects cities as a whole as a result. As a possible solution of aid as a community, there can be "Water Conservation Days" where households can track how much water they use and coming up with ways to not use as much. Another idea is having a community camping day in safe areas such as a park, where families come together and have a camping day (s) which can conserve water and amounts of electricity in households for numerous days.
