It is likely our region will enter it's 4th straight drought year. Water resources are already critically low, and we need to begin conserving b them now, in case our snowpack continues to be below average. The Truckee river will likely run dry or critically low this year, steps must be taken now to ease the situation.

Every drop of water that can be saved now, will be water we will have this summer. Both cities also need to look at future usage. Scientific studies indicate the sierra will be 15-25% drier by the year 2050. If Reno and Sparks plan to continue to grow into the future, water needs to be the top priority, wether its importing water, or reducing usage.
