chosen: California has suffered several multi-year droughts in the past century, including one in the 1920s and 1930s that was even worse than the current drought. During the recent severe drought, a series of water conservation laws were passed that included a mandate for urban customers to reduce water use by 25% statewide. As a result, more than 300 urban water agencies made significant conservation efforts, including increasing the efficiency of water use, implementing new storage and capture technologies, and developing new water reuse and recycling projects to replace reliance on traditional surface water sources. As these programs have begun to pay off, the state is starting to see improvements in water supply. For instance, snowfall has been greater than average in some areas, replenishing reservoirs, and the state is also increasing its access to groundwater. Despite the progress being made, many communities will still face water shortages for the foreseeable future, requiring ongoing public water conservation initiatives.
