The ongoing drought and new limitations on water use are leading tourist destinations to step up conservation measures and deal with a landscape whose waters have been drying up. In places like Disneyland, which already recycles much of its water, visitor arrivals have apparently not slowed, while the state's natural wonders, like Yosemite National Park, are emphasizing attractions that don't involve water.
