The drought situation in California has intensified over a period of two years. Recent events indicate that the drought has worsened, with experts describing non-measurable rain volume as the beginning of difficult period. The environment and lives of Californians will be the ones most impacted by the water shortage. Majority of the water resources are used in agricultural practices. This means that farmers will be directly affected by the drought because they depend on water supply to maintain their crop production. The water crisis in California will directly affect ranchers and consumers, in addition to the state's economy. The outbreak of fires in rural and urban areas will diminish water reserves especially during drought crises'. In addition, the cost of vegetables and fruits is bound to increase, directly affecting the consumers. The Department of Water Resources in California is committed to enforce water conservation to ensure that the water supply is stabilized. The state urges its residents to conserve water and avoid wasting it through mandatory restrictions. Water agencies patrol neighborhoods to inspect water use and encourage people to report violators of the policies. California also recycles its water as part of the solution to water shortage. The Department of Public Health encourages people to recycle waste water extracted from domestic use to preserve the water resources available. Regulations are in place to monitor water resources within the state. The Department of Public Health in California is considering direct and indirect potable reuse through uniform water recycling criteria, and surface and argumentation. Furthermore, California wants to shift and adapt the solution to water shortage but is concerned about the environment and overall cost of the desalination project. The demand for fresh water is an increasing concern with the growing population in California. Agencies within the state have established that groundwater reserves are depleting rapidly because of energy production requirements, agricultural demands, and changes in the climate. Domestic homes have been noted to be responsible for using massive water volumes by hosing their front lawns, sprinkling their driveways, filli
