Governor Newsom has finally called for a 15%voluntary reduction in water use in California.
Easy.
Here are some ideas for individuals.
1/n

If you water a garden 3 days a week, you'll save 33% of your outdoor water use by cutting it to 2 days.
Better yet, get rid of the lawn.
2/n

If you shower for 10 minutes, cut it to 7 and save 30% of your shower water. Better yet, get an efficient low-flow showerhead.
3/n

Replace a 6 gallon per flush toilet with a better performing 1.28 gpf toilet and save 80 of your toilet water. Flush 4 times a day instead of 5 and save 20%.
4/n

Farmers fallow 15% of your annual crops or put in drip or sprinklers or monitor soil moisture more accurately or change crop type.
