New Drought Measures.
In response to a record-breaking drought and the start of the hotter season, California state officials announced emergency rules to cut down water use. Local water agencies are now required to reduce water use up to 20 percent. Today, counties in Southern California begin emergency restrictions to water usage. What are the areas under extreme drought? What are the new conservation measures? What’s the opinion from potentially-impacted residents?
