Max Gomberg, senior scientist for the California State Water Resources Control Board, tells more about the plan to reduce water use in Los Angeles.

In Southern California, cities like Beverly Hills, La Canada, Palos Verdes and other communities would have to scale back their use by more than 1/3. Los Angeles would have to cut 20 percent.
