So how does California deal with a drought?

Run full loads in the dishwasher and laundry. If you own your home redo your yard to require less watering, if you don't have the new models of toliets, use the brick or 1/2 gallon milk jug trick to reduce the water capacity in the tank and the toliet will still flush just fine...take shorter showers, if you have a hand held shower head, turn the water off in between shampoo'ing up your hair and rinse and the same with conditioners. Like Steph already mentioned, turn the water off while brushing your teeth/shaving.
