residential users and for farmers. >> what about if the population continues to grow? >> again, there's a lot of water being used for lawns -- it's a big question whether people should have a big, green lawn in beverly hills or in palm springs or a mini orchard in san diego. i don't think that's realistic for the long term. and the economic costs of pulling back from that are not as big as if you deprive farmers of water. it's easier for residential users to reduce their water than farmers. >> it hasn't happened for a few years, but what if california were to get a great soaking, a rainy season would that change things? >> not really. california has been having a drought for four years now. and normally what happens is you get big snowpacks up in the sierra. and that's like nature's reservoir. you accumulate snow in the winter, it melts, runs downhill in the rivers. move that water around the

its percentage across the region. the numbers have been on a steady dechain in recent years, as well. we had a 32% snow depth when it came to the survey that occurred on april 1st, 2014, down to 5%. the located looked like this wednesday when the officials from the california department of water resources made their way to the area. you think about the water and necessity of the water. in this part of the world, when you talk about the sierras, 75% of the surface water comes from snow melt in the sierra. they have very little to work with. 40% of drinking water out of the snow melt. little to work with. with the 25% reduction the governor is proposing, mandatory reduction in place, that would save the state of california nearly 500 billion gallons of water over the next nine months. the deficit what they need to save to get them out and replenish the drought would be over 11 trillion gallons of water that is needed. all else remaining equal when it comes to the weather pattern not changing, say, over the next

>> i wore a bulletproof vest for a month. that's how i began my career in public service. and this is not how my career is going to end. >> reporter: although he is vowing to fight, menendez has agreed to step down from the powerful senate foreign relations committee. the largest newspaper in new jersey is calling on him to resign. he makes his first court appearance on thursday in newark, new jersey. dave evans, abc news, new york. for the first time in its history, california is implementing mandatory water restrictions as it prepares for a fourth summer of severe drought. the pictures, take a look here, telling the story. the before and after shots of large bodies of water, now a fraction of their former size. governor jerry brown is calling for a 25% cut in water use statewide and new penalties and fees for residents. the problem is there is a lack of snow. sierra, nevada is a major source of water for the state there. brown held a conference where there should have been five feet

that's 1.4 inches across the ground. that's 5% 5% of the average snowfall. this is what this picture looked like in 2012 where jerry brown stood yesterday and the governor stood on that on that meadow. numbers that you just can't get your head around. 36 billion gallons of water are used each day in california. even cutting that back by 25% will help but it won't help everyone because they've already cut it back for the farmers. there are farmers that can sell their water rights for more money than they can make using that water to plant because they can't grow can't make enough money. the water is so expensive now. 11 trillion gallons. that's how much rain snow whatever needed to put this drought to an end. we're not even close. even saving the 25%, that's only going to get 4.4% savings of what we need to get of that 11 trillion gallons of water on top of what we just don't have out there, carol. >> that's just incredible.

assessment of how bad it is out west. >> scientists saying this is the first-ever assessment of how much water would be needed to at least replenish some of the drought here. you look at the sierra snow pack. as of april 1st, they will tabulate the numbers, keep in mind on april 1st, 1977, a record low snow pack in the sierra of 25% was set. we're currently at 6%. this will easily be four times lower than what the record low snow pack was across the sierra. also about 40% of the daughter in the state of california comes from a good sierra no snow pack. non-existent this year. 80% of the surface water of california also comes out of the snow pack. certainly one of the major implications. 11 trillion gallons of water, what nasa saying, that would be needed to alleviate the drought situation. that's equivalent to 16 million olympic-sized swimming pools. take a look. the next ten days across the united states, plenty of wet weather across the southern states, certainly around the northwest. state of arizona and, you bet, the state of california remained
