Wow! That's low... "we found that if everyone in California got rid of their lawn, it would save 5-7% of total water usage in the state."

- rm_-rf_slash 11y agoThat's total water in a state with an enormous population and also happens to be one of the world's biggest breadbaskets. 5-7% sounds amazing to me.
- Reedx 11y agoYeah, agriculture (especially livestock) is the real thing that needs to be tackled. Everything else is small potatoes in comparison.
- wcummings 11y agoIndustrial farms use a lot of water.
- chc 11y agoGiven that agriculture accounts for most of the state's water use, even a drastic reduction in any other sector will look small in comparison to the whole, since they can't possibly account for more than ~20% of the total.
