Sounds like poor planning.

I don’t think you want to live in a world where we aren’t producing what we can. Water storage, environmental policies, decreased rainfall/snowpack & increasing numbers of people all play their roles in the water problems we have. Growers are always striving to run their operations more efficiently and that includes irrigation techniques.
Almond farms are horrible wastes of water. Mankind can cut back on almond consumption and be just fine. There are other nuts. Same shite with avocados.

It’s a shame those commie bastards in Cali will have to suffer

Arizona has much stricter water conservation standards than CA.
Really? I live in the Phoenix area and would be surprised if that's true.
A lot of the land that has been developed in the Phoenix area used to be cotton fields and orange groves. Developed land is a substantially smaller water user than those ag uses.

That lake has been below full capacity since 1983.
But sure, it's THIS drought that has it looking like that.
Didn't California just shoot down a desalination plant that had been approved previously?
It's too many damn people...no rocket scientist needed here.

Well the West is and always has been a fricking desert.
But 40 million people decided to move to California...and changed everything in America from agriculture to politics to your iPhone and entertainment. The only water on the West Coast is the Pacific.
Water rights and issues are as old as Los Angeles becoming the 2nd biggest city in America.
See Chinatown movie.

Seems like there is a book that talks about times like these. Drought, plagues, wickedness, wars and rumors of wars... We act shocked every time another gets checked off the list.
Instead of offering to transport and pay all expenses for killing babies maybe California should invest in a desalination plants.

Now do the Aral Sea, which is literally a man-made catastrophe.

If only it would rain more and turn the desert into a swamp. Then everything would be great!
Its like the crazy pills you're taking prevent you from understanding why or how desert fauna came into existence.

Simple math really…. Take out a lot more than goes in… it runs out.
Finances and water work the same.

Here’s a hint. Don’t move to the desert.

quote:Not sure how prevalent it is but in the delta, farmers spends tons of money on what I think is called "zero grade irrigation". They move dirt all around so that the water (either through irrigation means or rainfall are evenly dispersed. Delta can probably describe it better. But, I would imagine it's a huge investment but will pay off for years to come.

All this is because we all drink too much bottled water. If we drank Coke like God intended that bastard would be to the tip top.

Totally agree.
Just like 1200 years ago when Indigenous Americans created the last climate crisis.
