Water shortage, coming soon...

It's hard to believe that we are in a water crisis, most of us hardly even think of our water use. I was barely even aware that Gov. Schwarzenegger declared a drought this past June. According to PE.com a recent court order
reduced the amound of water available to Southern California from the Central Valley and State Water projects.
During the San Bernardino County Water Conference, held on Aug. 14, building agencies, water agencies, and local government representatives discussed the water shortage and ways in which one can be avoided. Suggestions included recycling runoff, limiting amount of water per home and charging extra for over use, and to maximize local water supply.
Schwarzenegger has set a goal for the state to reduce per capita water consumption by 20 percent by 2020.

What else can we do to bring water awareness to everyone?
