With first-ever, statewide mandatory water conservation ordered across California, go to our Water Conservation Tips page to find ways to save water inside and outside of your house

On the same webpage, you can click open other water fact pages, such as our “Food Facts” page to see how much water is used to produce certain foods – from almonds to butter and a hamburger.

On our Up Close and Personal: Water Use at Home find out how much it takes to wash clothes, flush a toilet and brush teeth.

With the state in a fourth year of drought, raising awareness of water use and how you can do your part in conserving goes a long way.
