IsiShayamthetho Sesifunda SaseCalifornia sivote ngoJulayi 5 ukuhambisa ibhondi yamanzi engu-$11 bhiliyoni ehlelelwe Ivoti YangoNovemba 2012 ibe ngu-2014, ngaleyo ndlela kwavula ithuba lokwakha umkhiqizo osebenziseka kakhudlwana kwezomnotho futhi osabelayo kwezemvelo ukuze abavoti bawucabangele ezinyangeni ezingama-24 ezizayo. Sekungokwesibili ivoti lebhondi libambezeleka kusukela ngo-2010.
Indlela ibhondi ebukeka ngayo "engenzeka ngokwezomnotho" kanye "nokusebenza kwemvelo" kuncike kakhulu ekutheni ubuza bani. Kodwa okuqinisekileyo ukuthi inguqulo yamanje ayiqukethe uxhaso lwezimali zokutshala emadolobheni. Eqinisweni, yibhondi yokuqala yamanzi/yezinsiza esikhathini esingaphezu kweminyaka eyishumi ukukhipha lezi zinsiza ezibalulekile ohlelweni lwezimali.
Ngakho-ke inkundla isibekiwe ukuze lo mphakathi ubeke icala ezinyangeni ezimbalwa ezizayo ngokusebenzisa amaphrojekthi amasha nakhona kakade indima ecacile yamahlathi asemadolobheni kusibopho samanzi esilandelayo. Kusuka Abantu BesihlahlaIsimangaliso ku-Elmer Avenue kuya I-Urban ReLeaf's 31st Street Demonstration Project to Iqembu Lobuhle laseHollywood's Water Reclamation Technology Project, amahlathi asemadolobheni ahlinzeka ngezixazululo ezisezingeni eliphezulu zokulawulwa kwamanzi ezikhukhula, ukushajwa kwamanzi angaphansi komhlaba kanye nezinga elithuthukisiwe lamanzi ezidinga ukutshalwa kwezimali okuqhubekayo futhi ezifanele ukwesekwa yizwe lonke.
