Nature World: The NOAA has just released a new report on the historic drought that has been affecting California for the last three years.

That comes as a big surprise, even for experts, as the ongoing drought was recently revealed to be the worst the region has seen in more than a millennium, with 2014's summer being the driest seen in a whopping 1,200 years.
