Study Analyzes Future Projections of Evaporative Demand in California, Nevada

According to a new study from the Desert Research Institute (DRI), the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego, and the University of California, Merced, climate change and a “thirsty atmosphere” would result in more extreme wildfire risks and multi-year droughts to California and Nevada by the end of the 21st century.
