Last week California's Governator declared the state was in an official drought and ordered water be transported to the driest areas.

This is a very serious problem and could have a major impact on landscapers and others in the Green Industry. With that in mind, my favorite fake-news source, The Onion, provided a list of ways for California to conserve water, including:

Wildfires only allowed to rage out of control on odd-numbered days

Top scientific minds will be summoned to see if they can somehow utilize the immense body of water immediately to the state's left
