Water naturally likes to go down, but engineers in California are trying to reverse that reality in the midst of a drought thats crippling the states resources. California is in a state of emergency The waters only traveled back that way once, the AP says, during heavy rains in 1983 when emergency pumps effectively kept the system from flooding. California is currently in the midst of its driest year in recorded history, due mainly to low rainfall, as well as light snowpack in the Sierra Nevada mountain range. Last week, Governor Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency urging state residents to conserve water and suggesting plans to invest in dams and reservoirs.
