Sacramento, May 1 (RHC)-- The entire U.S. state of California is in drought for the first time in 15 years. More than 75 percent of the state is reported in extreme drought.
California Governor Jerry Brown has urged residents to curb their usage by, for example, refusing glasses of water in restaurants. Brown suspended some environmental protections to reduce the impact of the drought, which he also tied to long-term climate change, saying: "We are playing Russian roulette with our environment."
