Unbelievable effects from drought

Severe drought is causing unimaginable effects in California, from pests that multiply to snakes dragging into people's homes.

Drought and effects make you surprised

In addition to the obvious consequences of drought, arid grassland, scarce water and hot weather, California is facing an extraordinary situation that is beyond the imagination of the local people.

Waste corrosion of water pipes

As water becomes scarce in California, more and more people use water-saving toilets and only discharge water when needed. This may be good for the environment, but bad news for sewer systems, at least in San Francisco. This high-tech city still has some sewers since the gold rush (1848-1855). People here are still discharging as usual, but the discharge is less. Consequently, decomposition waste produces hydrogen sulfide (H2S), concrete corrosive compounds in sewers, according to CBS. Since then, the risk of sewage leakage increases.

Animals are more susceptible to drought than humans. Drought reduces green food or meat for large mammals, they must defy the risk of finding food and water, such as crossing highways. As a result, the animal situation has increased in this state, according to a report from the University of California at Davis.

Snake attacked people's houses

The dry weather can also lead to dangerous confrontation situations between snakes and humans. Many conflicts with rattlesnakes have been reported in the North. Due to depleted water sources, rodents tend to rush into houses with the hope of satisfying thirst, which in turn leads to rattlesnakes also seeking to hunt, according to CBS News.

Last summer, a Sacramento resident earns a living by catching snakes in the people's home, saying that within a week, 72 snakes capable of deadly bites have been captured.

Exploding 'population' cat

Not all side effects of drought carry the risk of death. Heavy sunshine and less rain means more warm days and this will stimulate cats to make a stir. As a result, kittens were born and according to animal centers in Oakland, California, the number of cats has increased by 30% this season compared to other years, making them struggling to find shelter for them, according to the paper. San Francisco Chronicle.

The worms flutter

While droughts threaten many animals, insects such as scorpions and spiders are genetically plentiful in warm and dry conditions, according to CNN quoted expert Jim Fredericks of the Management Association. national insects. Once the heat rises, the spider army pulls together to stay hot in the garage and people's houses. Among these, there are completely unpopular subjects, including brown spider and black widow, according to Mother Jones.
