State guidance

Why conservation matters now

“The time to ramp up water conservation is now. Proactive conservation measures are a prudent step for all of our agencies to prepare for the possibility of ongoing extreme dry conditions. Only through these coordinated and collective actions at the federal, State, and local level will we be able to successfully manage our water supply.”

Karla A. Nemeth, Former Director of DWR

Conservation is a key part of helping California adapt to a changing climate. The Agency follows State guidance and applies the stage that matches current supply conditions.
