By now, most Northern California residents know the state is in a severe drought, having received the least amount of precipitation over the past two years than any time since 1976-77.
到目前为止，大多数北加州居民都知道该州正处于严重干旱之中，过去两年的降水量是自1976-77年以来最低的。
As reservoir levels drop, cities, water districts and private water companies are increasingly putting in place rules limiting water use. Some are already setting monthly water allotments, with surcharges for homes and businesses that use more than the limit.
随着水库水位的下降，城市、水区和私营水务公司越来越多地实施限制用水的规定。一些公司已经设定了每月用水配额，对超过限额的家庭和企业收取额外费用。
If this upcoming winter is dry again, fines, surcharges and other limits will be common across Northern California next year to preserve dangerously low supplies.
如果这个即将到来的冬天再次干旱，罚款、附加费和其他限制将在明年普遍存在，以保持危险的低供应。
The easiest way to cut water use in urban areas, experts say, is to reduce landscape watering, which accounts for 50% of residential water use in California. After doing that, check for leaks, take shorter showers and don’t leave the faucet running when you’re washing dishes, shaving or brushing teeth.
专家说，减少城市用水最简单的方法是减少景观用水，在加州，景观用水占居民用水的50%。这样做之后，检查是否漏水，缩短淋浴时间，洗碗、刮胡子或刷牙时不要让水龙头开着。
