LOS ANGELES—Water regulations are getting stricter in California despite a recent series of storms that took much of Southern California out of the “extreme” drought category and into the “severe” and “moderate” drought categories.

According to the latest drought map released by U.S. Drought Monitor, several counties in Southern California reported improvements in drought levels. However, officials say the drought isn’t over yet.
