California Drought

Visit the California Water Conservation Portal

Southern California is receiving some much needed rain, but it isn’t enough to cure the state’s severe drought. National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration -NOAA's data suggests Southern California needs about 3 times its average annual rainfall to make it back to average -- or about 53 inches of rain in a year.  Learn more at climate.gov

Conservation During Ongoing Drought

“KPCC has compiled some stark data on the next 50 years of projected rainfall, climate, and population density in California, and get ready folks, because it's going to get ROUGH.” Excerpt from Curbed Los Angeles

Highlights from the KPCC report

• California is getting hotter
• Less snow
• Expect More Wildfires and Floods
• Traditional Water Sources Diminished
• Population Growth

Not good news from KPCC, but at least we can do something about it. Everyone one of us can do our part to conserve.
