California, Nevada no longer under 'exceptional drought' conditions following severe influx of rainfall
But it will take several seasons at 120% to 200% the normal rain and snowfall to eliminate drought in the West, according to experts.

Drought has "many dimensions," and climate change is expected to alter the relationship between drought and flooding in the West, AghaKouchak said.
