The California Department of Water Resources is stressing that water conservation is still important through a new exhibit at the state fair. “Water Conservation: Rain or Shine” features step-by-step instructions on how to remove a home lawn and replace it with low-water using landscape. Lawn watering can account for 50 percent or more of home water usage, according to a DWR press release. DWR Spokeswoman Niki Woodard said the exhibit aims to highlight how residents can put in beautiful landscapes that also save water.
