Rippey said, 'Conservation is certainly critical from this point forward, especially if drought-easing precipitation does not materialize during the 2014-15 cold season.'
Reports say that California has recently enforced mandatory water restrictions. Local agencies are reportedly now given the authority to fine people wasting water up to $500 a day.
California record drought cannot be solved easily with monetary fines however. Awareness and collected concern and efforts are the only ways to slowly get past this problem. For now, all Californians can do is simply hobble through the rest of the dry season, hope and possibly pray that the coming winter is a wet one.
