Cartoon: a man pours a pitcher of water out on his lawn, sprays a hose as sprinklers water full blast, while in the background, a kid slides down a waterslide into a flooding pool. Type at the top reads, "California has plenty of water ."* Upside down at the lower-right corner is an asterisk next to the words "April Fools!"

As California's "wet" season comes to a close, prepare yourself for a third year of drought.

The Sierra snowpack stands at a meager 38% of average statewide.

Those early season atmospheric rivers that dumped so much rain and record amounts of snowfall in the mountains sure seem like a long, long time ago now.

Don't be an April fool. Conserve water now.
