California is in its worst drought since 1977. Some say it’s the worst in a century.
Reservoirs are only a third full. Rainfall totals were about 40 percent of normal last winter. Farmers are pumping groundwater to keep crops alive. Wildfire risk is extremely high. And wildlife is in danger as creeks run dry.
Although some people are saving water, (even refusing to shower) much more could be done!
What are YOU doing to help save water? What do you think should be done to save water?

If you don’t have a YouTube channel, use a friend’s channel or set one up, it’s easy.
