USA. Vallejo, CA. 2017. Aram and family bathe in a recycled tub in their back yard using rain water that will drain into the family garden in Vallejo, a city in the SF Bay area. It was the wettest winter in a century of record keeping in California's Sierra Nevada, the source of much of California's water, leading the US Drought Monitor declare Northern California drought free. Science predicts that California will see more intense weather swings as temperatures continue to warm.
