The drought has even prompted Governor Jerry Brown to issue this statement about the drought in his state recently:
"Today, we are standing on dry grass where there should be five feet of snow. This historic drought demands unprecedented action," Brown said.
"Therefore, I'm issuing an executive order mandating substantial water reductions across our state. As Californians, we must pull together and save water in every way possible."
