California Water

Why is mountain snowpack sometimes described as seasonal water storage?

• It prevents rivers from flowing.
• It holds winter precipitation that melts later.
• It creates seawater.
• It permanently traps all water.

Why is water management important to both California geography and economics?

• Water is unrelated to settlement.
• Water connects farming, urban growth, ecosystems, and physical geography.
• Cities do not need water infrastructure.
• California agriculture uses no water.
