As far as I know, there is no water rationing in any major California city, nor any major new restrictions on agricultural water use.
2014/15 didn't fix California's drought. It is quite possible the state will have another year of mild winters with little snowpack, and another, and another.
Do you Californians have your head in the sand? Or is there a reason that nothing is being done?
California has about one year of water left. Will you ration now? - LA Times |
Actually, there are major restrictions on agricultural water use.
Federal allocations are at 0%.
There are zero restrictions on environmental water use. We are flushing millions of acre feet of water out to the ocean in the name of saving a fish.
When LA runs dry, there will be enough political pressure to change things.
