California Imposes Unprecedented Water Conservation Rules

New statewide rules target wasteful usage of water in urban settings.

California authorities voted Tuesday to put unprecedented, across-the-board emergency regulations in place that will levy fines for wasteful behavior. Activities like using a hose to wash a car without a shut-off nozzle or using drinkable water in certain decorative water features will be banned, while infractions will carry fines of up to $500. http://time.com/2990069/california-drought-regulations/
