Climate change could spell the end form Midwestern corn, study finds

Alot of lawns will be dying this summer, as new restrictions on water use took effect on Wednesday for 6 million residents in Southern California.
In its third straight year of severe drought, California is currently experiencing its driest year on record, a pattern that scientists have said is linked to climate change. That has led to cut backs in the amount of water being delivered to Southern California residents via the State Water Project (SWP).
The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California announced emergency water limits on Wednesday. Exact restrictions will vary by city, but typically will involve limiting outdoor watering to one or two days per week. Some areas will instead limit the volume of water each customer can use. In Los Angeles, residents will be allowed to water their lawns twice each week for just eight minutes at a time. The area covered by the new rules includes Los Angeles, San Bernardino and Ventura counties, accounting for about one-third of Metropolitan Water District customers in Southern California.
