Come to Canada. We have all the water we need, nearly all the snow moved south to the US, no guns... It's really nice... :o)

I stopped watering my lawn back in November, I'm in the process of changing out my shower heads to 1.5gpm ones, and I'm also replacing my toilets with 1.28gpf models. Beyond that, I'm not sure how I can cut back anymore. My friend here mentioned that his dad lives on an island in the tropics, where they don't have "city" water. They depend on cisterns that capture rain water. He has a sign in his bathroom: "Here in the land of sun and fun, we never flush for number one." I'm thinking of implementing that in my house as well...

The lack of snow and low/depleted reservoir status in the watershed areas was really unnerving. -- Espi On Thu, Feb 13, 2014 at 12:43 PM, Heaton, Joseph@Wildlife <[email protected]> wrote: We're in the middle of the worst drought California has seen in recorded history. There are 17 communities that could run out of water in the next 60-100 days. Last weekend was the first significant rain we've had in Sacramento in almost a year. We're about 7-8 inches behind the "average" rainfall, and the snowpack is well less than 20%. The local reservoir was below 17% capacity before this last storm, and is now around 22%. I'd love to get some of that snow/rain that everyone else is getting. It's going to get scary this summer if we don't get lots more rain soon.

All of our NE offices are essential personnel only, all else WFH. Latest prediction or our area is 12-16, which is a lot for here. Of course my 7 year old couldn't be happier.
