Conservation Efforts Intensify Following California Drought Emergency

Following the California drought, organizations are calling for increased attention to water conservation in Southern California. 

Water conservation advocates met Thursday morning to call for increased investments in infrastructure that would make Southern California a leader in water conservation.

The meeting took place at the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) in L.A., and representatives discussed the current state of water conservation efforts and the future of them. 

"We need investments in new infrastructure," said Executive Director of SCAG, "and to maintain existing water conservation efforts that allow us to better use runoff."

Southern California has already invested more than $12 billion in conservation and local supply projects since 1995, and the average L.A. resident use 129 gallons per day, whereas California residents use 196 gallons per day, according to the Southern California Water Committee.
