Rain, Rain, Please Don’t Go Away!

While mudslides and traffic have plagued local communities during the recent heavy rains, the Southern California water community is hoping for more. It’s hard to believe that our state is still thirsty, with the snow-packed mountains and seemingly endless showers. But, experts warn, the impact of El Niño is exaggerated, and we’re not out of the drought yet.
“These storms may have left many consumers with the misperception that the region’s water supply problems are over. Nothing, however, could be further from the truth,” said Jeffrey Kightlinger, General Manager of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California.
So, while local residents will enjoy a break from the downpour this weekend–with temperatures expected to reach the high 70s– water supply experts are hoping this sunny break will be short-lived.

Hi, I am currently developing a website for my future business (engineering and environmental services) and I would love to use the “Rain, rain, please don’t go away!” picture (shown in the article above). It’s brilliant and would be perfect for my site. It would be great if I could get authorization to use it. Appreciate your time and consideration.
Go for it! It was a stock photo we found online. Best of luck with the new website!
