The same is true now in the central valley of California right now.

Stop me if I'm wrong but I believe the central valley depends on snow
melt for their irrigation water, which in turn is influenced by
cyclical ocean temperature patterns in the Pacific.

This is the same issue which is causing low water in the Colorado
River reservoirs which in the case of Lake Powell and Lake Mead, are
down about 60 feet from their maximum levels.
