Anthropogenic Drought on Cuyamaca Lake

by Alexandre Martinez, UCI, Irvine, United States of America

Cuyamaca Lake is a reservoir created in 1888 to supply water to San Diego. Here we can see in red the extent of the lake during the rainy winter 2016 and how it shrinks during the year due to the heavy water withdrawl.
