YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

"Facing catastrophic water shortages across California, Gov. Jerry Brown is taking drastic action to impose water rationing for the entire state.

Brown, a Democrat, unveiled an executive order Wednesday mandating a 25% reduction of water usage statewide. The governor also announced plans to replace 50 million square feet of lawns with “drought tolerant landscaping,” to set up a program to exchange outdated technology and increase regulations on the state’s large agricultural industry.

To mark the announcement, Brown traveled to the base of Lake Tahoe for Northern California’s annual snow-pack measurement. The reading, which ordinarily would find an average 66.5 inches of snow this time of year, showed dismal snowfall. Statewide snow surveys were about 5% of their average for the start of the month, according to the California Department of Water Resources, and on Wednesday, researchers found the lowest snow-pack ever recorded, the governor’s office said."
