“California Water Use Falls By 27 Percent in June”
I don’t think they are counting agriculture use in this article.
Ag water is 80% of the total use in CA.

...
That’s what I wondered.
You are way off with 80%!
50% of the water we COLLECT in MAN MADE reservoirs,canals,rivers,streams,.... is Diverted in to the ocean to save the non native species fish, the Delta Smelt and 500 COHO Salmon.
40% of the water we collect and store is used for Agriculture
10% is used By ALL HUMAN BEINGS in the State, of that 10%, 30% is used outdoors.
So how much did we save from the total?? about 2 1/2% of the TOTAL AMOUNT OF WATER we Collect, clearly within the margin of error on any given day.
ps the 80% figure is derived by NOT COUNTING the first 50% WASTED down the drain!
