California is suffering its third dry winter in a row and is now in a state of emergency, as declared by Governor Jerry Brown on January 17, due to what could be the western US state's worst drought in a century, sparking wildfires and hurting farmers and Brown has urged state residents to reduce their water use by at least 20 percent.
