Californians stepped up their water conservation in July, using 10.4% less than two years ago as the state struggles with a years-long drought
July marks the first full month that new conservation rules like were in effect, which state water officials said helped make a difference. Water use started to trend down in June after a bump in April and May.
"Last summer the savings numbers were slow to ramp up because the governor's call had just gone into effect. But the most recent numbers show how far we've come," said Marielle Rhodeiro, a research data specialist with the board."We can see some achievements — quite heartening." Three of the state's 10 water regions exceeded 15% savings, Rhodeiro said, with the North Coast region"completely blowing it out of the water" with 28.5% less water usage over 2020. The San Francisco Bay region used 17.3% less, and the South Lahontan region that includes numerous mountain ranges used about 16% less.
