Won = Own I assumed it was a typo

deltaland Calif drought story Why would you get a fine for having cisterns? Especially if they were already there and he didn't install them
He did install them but he had no idea he was doing anything wrong (in fact I think when he put them in they were OK but the water authority changed the rules, but I am not certain). The thinking (if you can call it that) is that rainwater belongs to the community and the water authority the community has charged with water management....if someone is hoarding that water (their words) then they are hoarding a public asset.
If that is the case shouldn't the owner of the rainwater be responsible for any damage done by the rain? I doubt this is the case....

San Francisco is not a desert. That's why people in this guy's neighborhood used to have lawns and trees. People who actually live in desert areas, like New Mexico, don't have lawns. They have colored rocks.

Depends on the area of San Fran, it is still very dry there.

I first realized how bad things were in Calif last year when I was watching a major PGA golf tournament from one of their most exclusive courses. It looked like shite. The grass was brown.

I lived in North Georgia for 27 years and experienced three droughts. I had water bills as much as $400+ at times. We learned to catch the water from our showers and carry it outside and use it to water plants (not grass). Metro ATL and N. GA are always teetering on the edge of water problems.

That is a very good strategy.
You might not want to capture the water from your kitchen sink and certainly not the toilets; however, capturing lavatory, shower and condensate from AC units is smart.

Way different problem, N Georgia's problem is water rights and lack of infrastructure development, there was plenty of water available just none in the pipe. Cali is turning into the Sahara, could not believe the empty lakes, rivers, and reservoirs I saw last month. A big fire outbreak may not be containable by next summer.

Correct. most of the popular parts of california is a Mediterranean climate - not a desert.
The valley inland is possibly America's most fertile land, and arguably the most essential.

This past summer was as good as I can remember rain-wise. I only had to run the sprinklers two or three times, and I was never not able to cut the grass due to ground saturation.
I could never live where there is water rationing.

It is pretty dammed dry most of the year in a Mediterranean climate, at least compared to a subtropical climate like most of the SE......

How about some desalination plants?
Posted on 10/19/14 at 7:54 am to Reubaltaich
Lawn grass is not native to Cali, and it hadn't rained in months and has not rained like a normal year for sometime. You want a yard out west? plant sage.
