As California’s historic drought continues, Governor Brown has signed a number of bills to help boost water conservation, strengthen groundwater management and improve water quality. The press release and listing of bills can be viewed at https://www.gov.ca.gov/news.php?id=19159.
In April, Governor Brown announced the first-ever 25 percent statewide mandatory water reductions and a series of actions to help save water, increase enforcement to prevent wasteful water use, streamline the state’s drought response and invest in new technologies that will make California more drought resilient. Californians have responded with unprecedented conservation efforts, exceeding the Governor’s water reduction order in each of the past three months.
