The situation is different for you in N. CA.
I was talking about the seven years I spent in SoCal. During then, I experienced nothing more than voluntary water conservation efforts.

Just on my own observations, however, it does seem like this year the reservoirs in this state are at the lowest levels I've seen.

You are simply looking at the holding tanks. You need to look at the sources.........the two major sources for water in S CA are the CO River and N. CA. The water from the CO River is divided among 4 states. Up until the last ten years, only CA was taking more than its allowed allotment. Sometime during the aught years, the other 3 states said enough is enough. And the CA allotment is getting cut back. So much so that from what I understand another aqueduct is getting built from the N. CA. I believe its quite controversial but the state has no choice but to go ahead. Central CA desperately needs water for irrigation. That is a multi-billion dollar industry in CA. Imagine if the aqueducts from N CA are damaged by a quake.....or by terrorists or by some other cause. S. CA and Central CA would be up a creek without a paddle.
