A new report out this week shows that Californians are finally getting the message about water conservation. Sort of.
Three years into a severe drought, we're finally tapering back on water use.

Lester Snow, executive director of the California Water Foundation, explains what more Southern California residents can do when, historically, they already have some of the lowest per capita use of water in the state.
