News Release: Rain Means No Need to Water Outdoors for Weeks
From the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) and UC Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources:
“Recent rains across California are not enough to end the drought, but they are enough to eliminate the need to water landscaping for several weeks. Experts with the California Department of Water Resources, University of California Cooperative Extension and University of California, Davis, together urge all residents, business owners, and government agencies to shut off sprinkler and irrigation systems until soils dry again. Depending upon local conditions and near-term weather, irrigation may not be needed for a month or more.”
