    Many scientists studying California's drought point to 1976-77 as a "worst-case scenario"

    TOP IMAGE** In an aerial view, water lines are visible on the steep banks of Lake Oroville on April 27, 2021, in Oroville, California. Four years after then, California Gov. Jerry Brown signed an executive order to lift California's drought emergency; the state has re-entered a drought emergency with water levels dropping in the state's reservoirs. Water levels at Lake Oroville have dropped to 42 per cent of its 3,537,577 acre-foot capacity. **BOTTOM IMAGE** In an aerial view, low water levels are visible at Lake Oroville on July 22, 2021, in Oroville, California. As the extreme drought emergency continues in California, Lake Oroville's water levels drop to 28 per cent of capacity. State water officials say that Lake Oroville's Edward Hyatt Power Plant might be forced to shut down the hydroelectric plant as soon as August or September if water levels continue to drop.
