Study details how to reduce urban water use for potential drought relief throughout CA

As California faces a third year of severe drought, an Oakland-based think tank released a study that finds the state can reduce urban water use through investments in water efficiency measures.

The Pacific Institute said innovative strategies could provide drought relief and long term water resilience.

The 48-page study, titled “The Untapped Potential of California’s Urban Water Supply,” details these measures.
