"We must continue to work with all stakeholders to improve conservation and ensure that our water resources are protected for generations to come." -U.S. Senator Mazie Hirono, Hawaii (October 2016)
"Californians continue to conserve despite the wet weather in many areas. This ongoing effort is important rain or shine for all sorts of reasons, in light of the greater extremes we can expect with climate change and increasingly weird weather. We're going to need to use all our tools including conservation and efficiency, water recycling, stormwater capture, and storing water above and below ground in wet times to get us through the dry times to deal with the Mack truck of climate change that has already arrived." -State Water Board Chair Felicia Marcus, California (March 2017)
