This bibliography page is for the San Joaquin Valley article. My topic is the current drought, the causes, effects, and possible solutions. Possible sources are listed below:

Source 1: My first source is the article “A comparison of strategies used and considered to mitigate droughts in California.” Throughout the article, there are plenty of examples about how the drought in California may be resolved, or at least reduced. The article begins by giving a background of the drought, referring to several studies that were conducted to explain what the drought has caused. It then goes on to mention different strategies to combat the drought, including water regulations, desalination, and wastewater recycling. This will be a particularly useful source for me, as I am planning on writing about existing or possible solutions to fight the drought in California. Although this site has a small bias, I will more so use the facts the author uses to describe the solutions, rather than including the bias information.

Source 2: My second source is the article, “Drought and groundwater management: Interconnections, challenges, and policy responses.” This article mainly focuses on the connections between drought and groundwater. There are several subtopics in this, including materials and methods, drought and over-abstractions, management responses, and the outlook for drought and groundwater management. There are many sources used throughout the article, and they include ways to access them. I believe I can use this source for my Wikipedia topic because of the connection between groundwater and the drought. The article clearly states the importance of this connection. However, I will be careful I do not use any bias information, but instead, use the facts that prove this connection.

Source 3: My third source is the article, “Effects of drought on the abundance and distribution of non-breeding shorebirds in central California, USA.” This article focuses on how the drought has affected wildlife, especially shorebirds. As I was reading through the article, it makes a very strong point in that the drought in California is not only affecting humans, but wildlife as well. When the climate drastically changes and there is limited water supply, the birds are not suited for changes like this and therefore, may not survive. I believe this will be useful for my Wikipedia entry because I can explain how the drought effects wildlife too, other than just humans.

Source 4: My fourth source is the article, “Impact of Drought and Changing Water Sources on Water Use and Soil Salinity of Almond and Pistachio Orchards: 2. Modeling.” This article focuses on how the drought in California has affected the way almond and pistachio orchards are supplied with enough water. It also focuses on viable solutions to help improve the water use for the orchards when the supply of water is limited. I believe this will be extremely useful for my Wikipedia entry because I can not only explain how the drought effects almond, pistachio, and other orchards, but also a way to make water use more efficient.

Source 5: My fifth source is the article, “Preparing for Long-Term Drought and Aridification.” This source mainly focuses on the drought, including risks and opportunities to help improve existing conditions. For example, the main points include understanding the issues at hand, the possible effects, but also the possible solutions and moving forward in the right direction. I believe this will be useful for my Wikipedia entry because I can use it to explain the background of the drought, as well as current or viable solutions. Using this article may encourage others to hold out hope and maybe start making a difference.

Source 6: My sixth source is the article, “The Social Production of the Great California Drought, 2012-2017.” This source focuses are more so the drought and the way it was produced socially. In the article, the author states there was a socioeconomic factor in the limited agricultural water supply. I believe this will be useful for my Wikipedia entry because I can explain the social side of the drought. Although this may not be as strong of a point to include in my entry, it adds another perspective to the drought that may not have been thought of before.

Source 7: My seventh source is the article, “Slingram Prediction of Optimal Vegetable Yields in Drought-Affected Alkaline Soil.” This source focuses on a way to treat farmland that has been affected by the drought. It explained in the article that salinity levels are important when looking at dry farmland because it can be treated differently to help produce sufficient amounts of vegetables. I believe this will be useful for my Wikipedia entry because this is a possible temporary solution for vegetables growing in the California, where the drought is extreme.

Source 8: My eight source is the article, “Environmental and socio-economic methodologies and solutions towards integrated water resources management.” This source offers an insight about water resources management, including tools for certain applications, the effects of limited water supply, like social issues, as well as innovative technologies and techniques to help provide solutions for the drought. I believe this will be useful for my Wikipedia entry because water resources management is very closely related to the drought in California. With better water resources management, we will be able to make the most out of the limited water supply we have.
