I stayed in my RV through the areas south(Near Gilroy) and east(Near Turlock/Delhi) of San Jose last summer and we would constantly see people with lawn hoses going to the point of flooding areas. We'd see a sign with "We're in a drought please conserve water" next to an orchard with a watering system that had left the ground covered in a few inches of water. In Delhi the place we stayed would have sprinklers everywhere running all day long often leaving huge puddles of water.

I understand residential usage is generally a small part of overall usage but it just seemed like no one there was even attempting to conserve water at all.
