state’s fourth consecutive year of drought.
Under the mandate proposed Saturday,
which If approved by the State Water
Resources Control Board will go into
effect by the end of May, it will be up to
individual water agencies to ensure that
the communities they serve meet their
required reductions. Failure to do so

The cuts won’t have a tremendous
affect on those communities with
already low water consumption like
San Francisco, which would need
only an 8 percent reduction. It’s places
like Newport Beach and Beverly Hills,
with required reductions of 32 and 36
percent, that face a real challenge.
The emergency regulations, taken in
response to severe drought conditions,
place the burden of water conservation
primarily on the shoulders of working
class residents, while leaving the vast
agribusiness giants and other large
corporate interests--which consume
the overwhelming majority of the state’s
water resources--untouched.

developed a new technique that can
recover and purify sea and waste
water in just two and a half minutes,
regardless of the content of pollutants
and microorganisms.
The System PQUA, works with a
mixture of dissociating elements,
capable of separating and removing
all contaminants, as well as organic
and inorganic pollutants.
The company’s engineers developed a
number of dissociating elements, and
after extensive testing on different types
of contaminated water, implemented
a unique methodology that indicates
what and how much of each element
should be combined.
