WATER IN CALIFORNIA
THE AVERAGE AMERICAN USES 98 GWPD
THE AVERAGE CALIFORNIAN USES 196 GWPD
STOCKTON DECREASED WATER USAGE TO 56 GWPD
SAN DIEGO INCREASED DEMAND 8.3% IN 2 YRS
WATER MOVED THROUGHOUT THE STATE
CONSTANTLY, NOT THIS YEAR
STATE WATER PROJECT (SWP) ONLY DELIVERING 5%
REQUESTED WATER TO FARMS
AVERAGE OF 17% INCREASE IN SWP WATER

ECONOMIC IMPACT OF WATER SHORTAGE IN
CALIFORNIA
• 80% OF CALIFORNIAN WATER USAGE GOES TO
AGRICULTURE
• 54% TO IRRIGATION
• CALIFORNIA IS THE WORLD’S 7TH LARGEST ECONOMY
• 428,000 ACRES EXPECTED TO LAY FALLOW THIS YEAR

WHY THE CALIFORNIA DROUGHT AFFECTS
EVERYONE
• THREE-YEAR STRETCH OF DROUGHT THUS
FAR
• 80% OF CALIFORNIA IN
EXTREME/EXCEPTIONAL DROUGHT
• 80% CALIFORNIAN WATER USED BY
CALIFORNIA FARMS
• $810 MILLION IN LOSSES IN CENTRAL
VALLEY ALONE
• $453 MILLION SPENT TO PUMP GROUND
WATER
• 17,000 AGRICULTURAL JOBS LOST
• 428,000 ACRES LAY FALLOW
• GROUNDWATER DRILLING = SINKING
GROUND
• SKYROCKETING FRUITS AND VEGETABLE
PRICES
• HALF FRUITS, VEGETABLES, AND NUTS
GROWN IN CALIFORNIA
• FISH EVACUATIONS AND WILDFIRES
• CALIFORNIA: $687 MILLION
• FEDERAL: $183 MILLION
• PREDICTED: SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WILL
ONLY GET DRIER, NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
WILL GET HOTTER
• LESS WATER FOR ALL
IMPACT OF
MANDATORY
WATER
RESTRICTIONS
• MAY 2015, MANDATORY 25% WATER
USAGE CUT FOR ALL HOUSEHOLDS
• AS OF APRIL 7, 2015, WATER USAGE
HAS DECREASED 2.7% SINCE
FEBRUARY
• SOME REGIONS SEE AN INCREASE IN
WATER DEMAND
• USAGE PER PERSON HAS DECREASED
• BOOST IN DEMAND FOR IRRIGATION
• HIGHER TEMPERATURES MEAN MORE
WATER USAGE NEEDED
