It's hard...the ethical decisions people have to make here. Do I conserve water use to the nth degree and delay any more consequences to people, but doom the wildlife even more than they already are? Or fudge on the water restrictions a bit and help wildlife the best I can? Do I let the less-than-xeriscape plants go and just go head and kill them? Or water them occasionally as they suffer a slower death? *sigh!* Life should be easier than this!
