The state is experiencing the worst drought in its history.
I believe that it is wrong to say that they are going to reduce usage by 20% and then reduce it by 5%. California needs this water desperately and need to draw back as much as they can without killing vegetation.
California governor Jerry Brown is taking historic steps to deal with the state's major drought.
I believe the Californian government is taking proper measures to preserve the fluid of life. 80 percent of fruits and vegetables come from California. This vegetation needs water to live, like all other living things. With the water drawback, the vegetation will have enough water to survive the drought, while they wait it out and finally have enough water. This will only affect minor things, such as shorter showers, browner grass, and other things that will not majorly affect the Californians lifestyle.
