Governor Jerry Brown held a press conference on the snowless slopes of the Sierra Nevada mountains yesterday to announce the first ever mandatory statewide water reductions for Californians. <br /><br />The emergency order comes after years of pleading with the public for voluntary conservation and a record-breaking warm and dry spell leading to the worst April snowpack in recorded history. <br /><br />Brown hopes to tackle California’s four-year long drought in four different ways: by reducing water waste, implementing stricter waste enforcement, streamlining water management and developing new technologies to cut back on usage and waste. <br /><br />The governor expects a 25% reduction in water usage, so it looks like golf courses, campuses and public parks will have to shut off their sprinklers, while residents will have to stop bathing. <br /><br />No word yet on if citizens or groups have started hoarding water, but better drink up now before it’s all gone.<br /><br />-------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />Daily videos brought to you by THE Taiwanese Animators behind the infamous Tiger Woods animation.
