Photo Reddit user Slavatheshrimp; Courtesy Sustainable Conservation<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>With California experiencing the worst drought in recent memory, the state is taking drastic actions including the approval of relief funds for agricultural workers, and the rationing of water for residents.<\/p>\n<p>Governor Jerry Brown asked Californians to reduce their water use by 20 percent and to prevent water waste on Jan. 17. To date, however, water usage has only been reduced by a dismal five percent compared to water usage during this same time period in previous years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHonestly, I feel like I haven\u2019t been feeling it [the drought] because I haven\u2019t been aware [of the effect]. I still have free access to water,\u201d said Johanna Alatorre, an Excelsior resident and recent graduate of Lowell high school. \u201cI feel that the city should help people see the effects of the drought.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Bay Area and certain parts of California have yet to experience the true extent of drought. It\u2019s being seen and felt much more in the Central Valley and areas where agriculture is the main source of livelihood.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople are hurting because of the drought\u2014not just the people who can\u2019t water their lawn, but people who don\u2019t have jobs now because the strawberry crop isn\u2019t coming in,\u201d said Eric Johnson, a spokesman for California\u2019s Department of Housing and Community Development.<\/p>\n<p>According to the United States Department of Agriculture, agriculture accounts for approximately 80 percent of the nation\u2019s consumptive water use and over 90 percent in many of the western states. In California, where a large part of the economy is dependent on agriculture, water availability and accessibility is crucial.<\/p>\n<p>Sustainable Conservation, a nonprofit environmental organization that partners with businesses to find environmental solutions that make economic sense, is currently working in two areas severely affected by the drought: the San Joaquin Valley and the Central Coast (Santa Cruz and Monterey counties).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cObviously, farmers need water to grow crops, and there are approximately 800,000 acres of land that grow crops that are not in production this year because of the water shortage,\u201d said Ashley Boren, executive director at Sustainable Conservation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFolks that are working in the field and helping harvest crops\u2014those jobs aren\u2019t going to be there because of the reduced acreage growing food. The unemployment rate is going to be much higher this year, particularly this summer.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_24415\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24415\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Drought_02web.jpg?quality=89&#038;ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-24415\" alt=\"En California, aproximadamente 800,000 acres de tierra para cosecha no est\u00e1n produciendo este a\u00f1o debido a la sequ\u00eda, dijo Ashley Boren, director ejecutivo de Conservaci\u00f3n Sostenible.

The Drought Relief Subsidies Program, which took effect when Governor Brown signed Senate Bill 104 into law in March, is being administered by La Cooperativa, a nonprofit organization located in Sacramento.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis program is really, really important for the workers in California who help put food on our plates, and we\u2019re very much looking forward to working further with La Cooperativa and other local agencies to make sure that this money goes out to people who need it the most,\u201d said Johnson.<\/p>\n<p>La Cooperativa, which has been around for over 20 years offering comprehensive service packages to rural, agricultural regions, has been interacting directly with Californian families and individuals affected by the drought.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s becoming more noticeable now,\u201d said Marco Lazarraga, executive director at La Cooperativa. \u201cA lot of people have come to our offices saying \u2018I\u2019m only working 20 hours because there\u2019s not enough work because of the lack of water.\u2019 Definitely the hours reduction is very noticeable\u2014very, very noticeable\u2014and they\u2019re having a hard time because they\u2019re working a lot less.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Water rationing<\/b><br \/>\nOn July 15, the state Water Resources Control Board passed regulations that will allow local law enforcement and water agencies to serve those who waste water with a fine that could be as much as $500 a day. Water agencies that fail to enforce the new regulations could be faced fines as much as $10,000 a day.<\/p>\n<p>The regulations, which take effect Aug. 1, prohibit both commercial and residential users from watering lawns and gardens to the extent of runoff, washing down driveways and sidewalks, using portable water in a fountain unless the water can be re-circulated, and using a hose to wash motor vehicles unless the hose has a shut-off nozzle. Exceptions to the regulations will only be made for health and safety circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom my personal experience in the 1970s when we went through a seven year drought, it wasn\u2019t until the fines came in that people finally stopped watering the lawn,\u201d Lazarraga said. \u201c[When] local governments finally get to the point of fining people for watering the lawns [then] that\u2019s what finally gets the message in the residential consumer.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With California experiencing the worst drought in recent memory, the
