The impacts are concentrated mostly in the San Joaquin Valley and are not evenly distributed; individual farmers will face losses of zero to 100 percent.<\/p>\n<p>Expanded groundwater pumping will offset more than 70 percent of this surface water deficit, according to our modeling of how farmers are likely to respond. This leaves a shortage of 2.5 million acre-feet \u2014 9 to 10 percent of the amount normally applied to crops \u2014 compared with a net water shortage of 1.5 million acre-feet in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>The estimates, prepared for the California Department of Food and Agriculture, also show that farmers will fallow roughly 560,000 acres or 6 to 7 percent of California\u2019s average annual irrigated cropland.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Estimated Drought Impacts to California Agriculture, 2015<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"caption\" src=\"https:\/\/californiawaterblog.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/06\/pages-from-2015drought_prelimanalysis-copy-2.jpg?w=600&amp;h=487\" width=\"600\" height=\"487\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Source:Howitt RE, Medell\u00edn-Azuara J, MacEwan D, Lund JR and Sumner DA. 2015. \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/watershed.ucdavis.edu\/files\/biblio\/2015Drought_PrelimAnalysis.pdf\">Preliminary Analysis: 2015 Drought Economic Impact Study<\/a>,\u201d UC Davis Center for Watershed Sciences.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Economically, the drought seems on track to reduce crop, dairy and livestock revenues by $1.2 billion this year. Pumping costs are expected to reach nearly $600 million. Overall, the drought is estimated to cause direct costs of $1.8 billion \u2014 about 4 percent of California\u2019s $45 billion agricultural economy. When we account for the spillover effect of agriculture on the state\u2019s other economic sectors, the total cost of this year\u2019s drought on California\u2019s economy is $2.7 billion and the loss of about 18,600 full- and part-time jobs.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>California Agricultural Jobs and the Drought, 2013 -2014<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Pages from 2015Drought_PrelimAnalysis copy\" src=\"https:\/\/californiawaterblog.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/06\/pages-from-2015drought_prelimanalysis-copy.jpg?w=600&amp;h=373\" width=\"600\" height=\"373\" \/><\/strong><\/h3>\n<dl id=\"attachment_4752\">\n<dd><strong>Agricultural employment increased from 2013 to 2014, but substantial losses of irrigation-season jobs occurred in areas particularly hard-hit by the drought.<\/strong><\/dd>\n<dd><em>Source: Authors\u2019 calculations using California Employment and Development Department data<\/em><\/dd>\n<dd>The drought induced job losses even while total agricultural employment continued to grow.
