California Ends Its Water Conservation

The right likes to say let the states decide. Well, the California Government, just said let the local municipals decide how to regulate their water conservation efforts. Speaking from a person who lives in a city that was one of only three to get fined for not cutting back on their water usage think this sets a bad example. Lets just put it this way. Beverly Hills was one of the other cities to get fined also and we know they do not care because they have all the money. Which is all this is really about if you ask me. We had a fairly wet year thanks to El Nino, but was really only average from a historic standpoint. Did not really do anything to cut into the drought. Yet, because a couple of places up North reservoirs over filled, some congress people thought this was a necessary action because the cut backs were hurting businesses. Looks like money wins again and think Mother Nature needs to try harder to get these thick headed people to understand what they are doing to their surroundings. Wait till summer is over after all the forest fires, (what is left of them) and then we will be right back to singing the same tune.

It takes mother nature ages to carve out a path for rivers from mountains. In comparison cutting through thick headed folks is tougher...give mother nature some time will ya..

It is kind of crazy how many places are in some kind of drought or were. Pretty much every state after Kansas.

Surprising. We didn't have quite the wet winter as predicted though they did better than usual up north but nowhere near ending the drought. I don't see how cutting back on water usage hurts businesses since all you have to do is eliminate silly waste usage.

I am not sure also, maybe they were just trying to get rid of the fines or something. I was reading about the two cities up north that could not contain any more water. They were using them as the example of how we could go back to normal now.
