pressure with continued population growth;

Californians;

reducing wasteful use of water — is essential to maintaining a reliable water supply for our
communities and for all of California;

to outdoor landscaping;

benefits for our communities including:
• additional groundwater infiltration and improved groundwater quality;
• enhanced compliance with State and Federal storm runoff and water
quality regulations;

• enhanced flood control
• development of more economical and reliable water supplies;

compost; and

use efficiency policies and programs that are coordinated among all of the cities and water
agencies within the region.
