Californians will be asked to further cut back on their water use on the heels of a historically dry January through March.

Long Beach's drought-friendly lawn program has saved 120 million gallons of water since 2010, and homeowners can even get reimbursed for labor, materials and landscape design.

Roughly 385 cities and other local water districts have to submit drought response plans to the state detailing six levels of conservation actions based on water scarcity. As less water becomes available, the local water districts adopt more aggressive controls that establish how and when people can use water. Those suppliers serve more than 36 million people, or more than 90% of the state's residents.

Level two restrictions vary based on the local district's needs, but typically restrict when people can use water for outdoor purposes or include incentives for people to install more efficient appliances or landscapes. In Sacramento, for example, level two limits watering of public spaces like parks and cemeteries, orders people to turn off decorative water features like fountains and increases patrols for water waters.

As soon as Newsome & Pelosi cut back 50% of the water they use for their vineyards,then I’m sure Californians might take it more seriously

Let California dry

How about nope.

Vertical farming can save up 90% of water and farmers use over 50% of water and most of nuts are exported to Asia.

California needs to start trading the food we grow for water ... or only grow what we eat in california

Cut back on fracking, coca-cola and golf courses, first or f*ck off.

On cue after rain .

Let me know how much the almond farmers will be cutting back first, then I will take the matter under advisement.

Shit I had no water for 6 months 80 percent of the morning to night big deal stop setting fires and we can have. Uh o water lol

Want us to bend over next?

California liberal elites ask middle and lower class citizens to do shit to make their lives even harder even though it’s literally the last thing we’re worried about.

Why doesn’t Newsom and California build the water reservoirs to store rain water they promised? Complete failures.

No. Reduce our bills then

Californians aka anyone whos not rich or owns a business that requires having grass.
