摘要

California has at least an additional five months of drought ahead, U.S. forecasters estimate, putting new pressure on everyone to conserve already stretched water supplies. While farms use 80 percent of the state's water-and it's essential that they cut back-cities and towns have to do their share. The good news is that officials already know how to get people to use less water. The bad news is that too few of them have acted aggressively enough. If the drought ends before they do take action (forecasters say wet El Nino weather could return next winter), the problems will only be worse during the next shortage. One effective strategy is to raise the price of water as people use more and more of it. Low prices are charged for the amount most families need for drinking, bathing, and washing dishes and clothes. Higher prices are levied for more.discretionary use, mostly for watering the lawn. And use above that level is priced prohibitively.
