As extreme drought claims most of the state, California Gov. Gavin Newsom today asked Californians to voluntarily cut their water use by 15%.
The request, Newsom said, applies to businesses and agriculture as well as residents. Meeting the target could save enough water to supply 1.7 million average households for one year, according to state officials.
Speaking from windy Lopez Lake in San Luis Obispo County, Newsom stressed that the reductions are voluntary and urged Californians to make common sense cuts like looking for leaks and running full loads of laundry and dishes.
“Not here as a nanny state. And we’re not trying to be oppressive,” he said. “But nonetheless, the sober reality is such that here we are again, and we will need to proceed with the lessons learned from the last drought.”

Newsom asks all Californians to voluntarily reduce water usage by 15% amid drought
SACRAMENTO Gov. Gavin Newsom is asking Californians to voluntarily cut back on household water consumption by 15% compared to last year as drought conditions worsen and temperatures continue to rise across the state and the western United States.
The governor on Thursday also expanded his regional drought state of emergency to apply to 50 California counties, or roughly 42% of the state population.

Caulerpa prolifera
A coordinated effort to remove and eradicate an invasive algae species from Newport Harbor began on July 7.
The invasive algae, scientifically known as Caulerpa prolifera, was discovered in the China Cove beach area of Newport Harbor in March. Since then, the City has been working with multiple federal, state and local agencies to identify the extent of the algae growth and to develop a removal plan.
Using a careful and deliberate method over an anticipated 4-5 days, divers will extract the invasive plant from the seafloor using vacuum pumps. The material will then be pumped onshore into a container where the algae and other solids are separated from the harbor water. The discharged water will be handled with great caution to prevent reintroduction of the algae to the bay environment.
