The Californian drought continued as the summer approached, but residents began to alter their behavior accordingly. If the authorities would like further change to occur, they could use printing services in Temecula to promote responsible water use.
Dr. Mark Gold, an Adjunct Professor at the Institute of the Environment and Sustainability at UCLA, has commented on the public response to the drought, saying:
“My first response is almost disbelief. These results are beyond encouraging; they’re heartening. They make you realize that as a whole, people in urban areas are making the sacrifices necessary to get through this unprecedented drought.”
Citizens have been doing their bit to save water by engaging in various activities. They have been instructed to shower for shorter periods, modify their gardens, and use appliances that keep water waste to a minimum.
The response from local communities has not been uniform. However, the State Water Resources Control Board has reported that the performance of people in May was more impressive than it had been during the previous month. This could show that the message of Governor Jerry Brown has begun to be heard.
An area that has done especially well is Lake Hemet Municipal Water District in Riverside County. The people there managed to save significantly more water than residents of Serrano Water District in Orange County, for example.
