Description: Both in the past and today; droughts cause massive problems. It can cause poor quality, or shortages of drinking water. It can impact air quality as dry conditions can result in dust in the air. It also can result in forest fires.

A lack of rain can also cause low crop yields, which impacts food prices and can create food shortages. It also can cause an increase of disease, such as the West Nile virus that is carried by mosquitoes that breed in stagnant water. When there is a drought; many will go to extremes to try to find a way to make the rain fall. When California found itself in this situation 108 years ago; they were desperate, so they hired a rainmaker. The thing is that this may have worked! Was it one man’s gift, or an act of god?
