re: Why is California drying up?

They say a single almond tree requires 10,000 gallons of water/irrigation per week to be commercially viable. And the average plantation contains 1,000 individual trees.
I made all the numbers up, I can’t keep up this charade, BUT I do believe the actual realistic numbers to plug in are nonetheless likely shocking, if I may, themselves.
And hell I’m not all that impressed with these so-called almonds out here. More of a pistachio guy, which I’m sure ain’t nothing nice on the agua themselves.

They've probably stopped pumping water out of the ground to save the environment and importing oil from china

I don’t think California has added reservoir capacity since the 1970s because of environmental concerns. Basically minnows, frogs, birds, and animals prevent progress in California.

We're also being dried out from above with desiccant nano-metals. Been watching them since 1998. When they spray, the humidity drops.

Most of the water is used to water Avacados. No lie

Here’s a documentary that goes into the water situation here in the San Joaquin Valley. Our friend Victor Davis Hanson makes an appearance around 20 minutes in. There is a lot of good information from a variety of experts in their respective fields. Some you’ll agree with and others you won’t. But that’s what a good doc should do. I hope you enjoy it.

You also have to factor in HAARP.
If you don’t know what that is use DuckDuckGo to search to get the truth.
It is fully operational and has been to years.
If they can do it they will.

What are you, some sort of rain expert? You better be, because everyone else is. Rain merit badge at a minimum, triple doctorate is the average, self-awarded. But I gotta go, I’m working on a nanobiology doctorate in another tab.

Neuter Sacramento and DC and California would be in a much better situation. For everything.

Don't need to be great or own a lib to point out much of California is a desert, it's called geography.
Maybe building large cities with millions of people in a place that doesn't have much water isn't such a great idea
Anyway, think about it

Water in California is shared across three main sectors. Statewide, average water use is roughly 50% environmental, 40% agricultural, and 10% urban, although the percentage of water use by sector varies dramatically across regions and between wet and dry years. Some of the water used by each of these sectors returns to rivers and groundwater basins where it can be used again. Environmental water provides multiple benefits. Environmental water use falls into four categories: water in rivers protected as “wild and scenic” under federal and state laws, water required for maintaining habitat within streams, water that supports wetlands within wildlife preserves, and water needed to maintain water quality for agricultural and urban use. Half of California’s environmental water use occurs in rivers along the state’s north coast.

Same reason ocean front property in Greenland is cheap.

Part of the problem,the large commercial nut growers are are hoarding water in underground voids,taken from rivers.

Colorado River is drying up.
But cause for this effect?
California is a desert yet everyone there lives as though it's an oasis. Overuse of water for lawns mainly.
When you live in a desert, you should go Xeriscape.

Cue Sam Kinnison.
It's a fricking desert with little natural fresh water. It has vastly exceeded the population it can naturally support.
The greens won't tell you that, though. They will blame global warming for a desert doing desert things.

First and foremost, most of California is the desert, especially near the large population centers.
There hasn't been a reservoir built since 1973 or a dam built since 1980.
The population has increased a lot since then.
On top of that, the environmentalists are trying to protect the delta smelt fish which protections cause water shortages for farmers.

A lot of fresh water that could be used for people and crops are flowing straight into the ocean because diverting that water has been stopped by environmentalists.
