Conservation of Water

I know we haven't yet gone over this muckraking presentation, but I remember the title being the Conservation of Water in California. It's been pretty clear to me (both on the news and with real life experience) that California is in a severe drought. What are some of the best ways to conserve water? I know that I personally try to take shorter showers and not leave the sink running while washing your hands with soap. Are there obvious other ways? Also with this huge rain storm, do you think California will still be in such a severe drought? Something to think about going into tomorrows presentation!
