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.
