With the continuous drought in states like California, citizens are already experiencing the effects from decreased water supply to increased cost of electricity. California Governor Edwin G. Brown Jr. signed emergency legislation after a declaration of drought State of Emergency. An Emergency package of $1 billion will be used to assist citizens affected by the drought and to use for funding and use of local water supplies in the uncertain future.
A comprehensive plan to map out California’s strategy for water conservation in the future, the water action plan shows how Californians can integrate water conservation in their lifestyle. Research facilities are being funded for the development and implementation of more efficient standards in line with water and energy conservation, restorations of basins, rehabilitation of watersheds and more.
The government is doing their best for efficient water management, which pleases Paul Mathieson. It is time that citizens do their part in conserving water and minimizing the negative effects of drought as much as we can.
