DROUGHT
WHEREAS, California is entering a fourth consecutive year of below

tially below normal in the watersheds of the imported water supplies serving
Southern California, and many communities in the State will suffer water
shortages; and

the water used in West San Bernardino County but is dependent upon supplemen-
tal supplies imported from the State Water Project to meet all of the water
demands in the "West End"; and
WHEREAS, the proper management of the local groundwater supply, as
supplemented by imported supplies, mandates that appropriate water conserva-
tion measures be undertaken to protect and conserve these supplies; and
WHEREAS, the City of Rancho Cucamonga adopted a Xeriscape Ordinance
on January 17, 1990, with the purpose and intent of establishing a water
conservation plan to reduce water consumption in the landscape environment;
and
WHEREAS, additional measures such as waste water reclamation and
reuse; development of conjunctive use programs; and protection of the quality
of groundwater supplies should be encouraged.
