It’s been long, dry year for California. Although we have had touches of rain here and there, the long-term weather forecasts don’t look too promising. Add that to a couple of previous dry years and the results are dry soils all over the state.
Summer is over and fall has arrived! It is more important than ever to remind everyone that just because we are out of the dry season doesn’t mean the drought is anywhere near over. When (and if) rain comes conserving water may be the last thing that comes to mind. However, water conservation should be a daily, year-round habit for all of us.
Just in time for the official start of summer, Save Our Water is launching Don't Waste Summer, a campaign devoted to providing daily water saving tips and news on the new microsite – SaveOurWater.com.
