Schwarzenegger declares Calif. drought emergency

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger declared a state of emergency Friday because of three years of below-average rain and snowfall in California, a step that urges urban water agencies to reduce water use by 20 percent.
"This drought is having a devastating impact on our people, our communities, our economy and our environment, making today's action absolutely necessary," the Republican governor said in his statement.
Mandatory rationing is an option if the declaration and other measures are insufficient.
The drought has forced farmers to fallow their fields, put thousands of agricultural workers out of work and led to conservation measures in cities throughout the state.

I was watching this on the news this am and it is getting really bad it looks like. So if something isn't done it will lead to violence. Of course you could truck bottled water in, but it would be hard to take a shower with a bottle of water...
