Southern California businesses and residents are asked to reduce outdoor watering as drought leaves 'half the water that we need' for summer
CNN
Facing "drought conditions unlike anything we've experienced before," Southern California officials are demanding businesses and residents in parts of Los Angeles, Ventura and San Bernardino counties cut outdoor watering to one day a week.
"For the summer, we have half the water that we need right now in these communities," said Rebecca Kimitch, program manager for the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California.
The move comes as California faces persistent climate crisis-fueled dry conditions that have led to major water shortages, despite record snow in early winter. Last summer, the state saw its most severe drought in its 126-year record.
