Officials Say Best Way To Stretch California's Water Supply Is Through Conservation

 

Later this month Californians will likely see another round of water conservation measures. The State Water Commission is expected to continue the restrictions, but impose softer rules after a relatively wet winter. Doug Carlson with the Department of Water Resources says while water officials look at new storage and de-salination to increase water supply, they'll still stress conservation.

 

 

He concedes the conservation rules will probably be loosened, because the state saved some 1 point 2 million acre feet of water last year. That's enough for more than a million families of five. But he and other water officials are adamant that though El Nino helped this winter, it didn't completely offset the ongoing drought.
