To combat California’s third consecutive year of drought, on February 27, 2009, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger proclaimed a state of emergency ordering immediate action to manage the crisis.  In the proclamation the Governor requested all urban water users to immediately increase their water conservation activities in an effort to reduce their individual water use by 20 percent.  Throughout the State, water agencies are scrambling to find new ways to cut water use and stretch what little water resources they have.  Despite the perception that this year’s rain and snow fall have improved the State’s drought conditions, the Southern California region continues to experience a lack of water supplies.  We all need to keep this in mind and do what we can to increase our water conservation efforts.
