The project will follow the rapidly changing conditions produced by the fifth year of drought in California and will collect data which otherwise would be lost. The study will focus on the following four areas: a) the acquisition and analysis of drought- related meteorological and hydrological data in order to assess the uniqueness of this drought episode; b) the assessment of the drought monitoring procedures in order to determine how efficiently the drought's beginning was detected and the drought's progression was evaluated; c) the assessment of the effect of the drought on the performance of major water resource engineering projects; and d) the assessment of the performance of unusual response measures, e.g., water transfers and water banking. The results of this work will benefit climatologists, hydrologists, planners and managers, and researchers from government, the private sector and academia.

该项目将遵循快速变化的 第五年产生的条件 加州的干旱，并将收集数据 否则就会丢失。 研究 将集中在以下四个方面： 干旱的获取和分析- 有关气象水文资料 为了评估这种独特性， 干旱事件; B）评估 干旱监测程序， 确定干旱对 开始被检测到，干旱的 评估进展; c）评估 干旱对非洲的影响 主要水资源性能 工程项目;及d）评估 不寻常反应的表现 措施，例如，调水和水 银行业务. 这项工作的结果将 气候学家，水文学家， 规划者和管理者，以及来自 政府、私营部门和学术界。
