[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in SoCal & our Governor recently suggested, not mandated that us citizens here should watch our H2O usage.

I remember around five yrs or so ago, we were told to take five min showers + only water our lawns on certain days.
There was even a special enforcement team we jokingly referred to as the “Water Patrol.”

Hoping it doesn’t go back to that again. 😕[/quote]

It won't go back to that again - it's going to be much worse.

Residential users are going to be pitted against agricultural users. Farmers and the ag lobby aren't going to just close up shop, and to some extent we may not want them to. We've talking about almonds, which, we can all live without almonds, but what about the other products currently produced in CA and the west? High food prices are not something that a lot of people will welcome.

And just wait until the ultra wealthy find some loophole to declare their estates as an agricultural concern and therefore not subject to the water restrictions placed on regular people.
