(Natural News) Southern California’s Castaic Reservoir in Hollywood, which feeds much of Los Angeles County, is dropping like a rock amid a prolonged California drought that is starving the region of hydration.

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti recently took a helicopter tour to survey the reservoir, during which he stated that “it’s as low as I can ever remember it being.”

“You can see the bathtub ring.”

For the past decade, Los Angeles the city – there is also the county with many more millions of people – has made significant investments into its water future, including several major projects that aim to improve the capture, storing and recycling of water.

Such projects include a new “biosludge” recycling facility that will pipe “purified” sewage sludge back through people’s taps after each use.

There have also been desalination efforts in some areas of the Golden State, which help as well.

The problem is that Southern California is running out of water now, and many of these projects will not be completed until around 2050, nearly 30 years from now.

“It’s not an easy path, it’s not a cheap path, but it’s achievable,” Garcetti says about California’s challenging present and future.

“And if he or she doesn’t do it, we’re in big trouble.”
