Topic Reading-Vol.1075-3/22/2015

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
California Has a New Plan to Beat the Drought, One Glass of Water at a Time
Unlike Europe, it’s still free of charge to be served a glass of water at a restaurant in California, even though you now need to ask for one. Neither the saving nor hassle sounds so significant, the state’s new water conservation program seems controversial where the draught is getting worsened for the last several years and the water reservoir is now at a historically low level.
Much more water could be saved if the agricultural sector is involved, which accounts for 80 percent of the state’s water use. Also, outdoor water use such as watering lawns and plants could be more strictly controlled because it consumes about a half of the water use in summer.
At any rate, restaurants maybe more encouraged to offer just bottled water like Europe so that they make more money with less tap water? That will at least make diners more cautious about leaving undrunk water, won’t it?
Enjoy reading and learning how severe the drought is in the most populous state in America.
