Arnold Schwarzenegger Organizes Water Bank To Combat California’s Drought

Filed under: campaigns, politics — Michael Parrish DuDell @ 10:45 am

It’s common knowledge that humans need only four things to survive: food, water, air and Ecorazzi. While Ecorazzi is deliciously plentiful, the other 3 seem to be dwindling, dwindling, dwindling.

The governator of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, is preparing for harsh times ahead by forming a “water bank” for the year 2009. Essentially the water bank system will allow California to purchase H20 from local agencies and farmers upstream of the delta and make it available for sale to public and private water systems in the southern parts of the state.

Arnold said: “While we are taking action to address the state’s drought situation, there remains an urgent need for Californians to step up conservation efforts and for the legislature to pass a comprehensive water plan that will ensure California has the water it needs to keep our economy strong and our people working,”

California is already experiencing a drought and Arnold has declared nine counties in its Central Valley to be in a state of emergency after two years of below-average rainfall. So grab your aqua now, kids. This stuff is going fast!

  1. Maybe they should eat less meat to save water.

    It takes 5,000 gallons to make 1 pound of meat and you save more water by forgoing that one pound of meat then if you didn’t shower for a year!!

    So to save even MORE water, vegetarians should shower with other vegetarians (and vegans!) THINK OF ALL THAT SAVED WATER!

    :D
