California is in the midst of a four-year drought, the worst in recorded history. “Yes, I already know that”, you say. But what you may not know, is that despite our current El Nino season, Californians still need to save water to prevent any further drought.
Here are the facts. The snowpack in the Sierra Nevada, which had reached a 500-year-low, is already 103% of average for this time of year. That’s a good start! But we need a lot more than an average snowpack for a complete reservoir recovery. And specifically in the Central Valley and Southern California, we need more rain to fill up our highly tapped groundwater aquifers.
In order for this to happen, the pace of snow has to continue during much of the next four months, which is our region’s wet season. And so far the forecasts look encouraging, but you just never know when the weather patterns might switch.
So even in the midst of an El Nino season, Californians are required to cut back on their water usage. One of the best ways to do save water to upgrade your home with more water efficient appliances and fixtures. When you use water–saving products in your home or business, you can expect exceptional performance, savings on your water bills, and assurance that you are saving water for future California residents.
To learn more about water conservation, I recently attended a Help Save Water event hosted by Niagara Conservation at Home Depot in La Quinta, California.
Desert folks really understand the importance of saving water! This year the Coachella Valley Water district alone asked residents to cut their water usage by 36%! At the event, SaveOurWater.com provided us with this cute How To Take A 5-Minute Power Shower as a guide.
