re: Why is California drying up?

We have enormous amounts of water here. The desert thing gets overplayed quite a bit. What we don’t do is capture our water like we should during our good years. That’s one of the biggest failings of the environmental wackos. Watch the documentary I posted up above. Farmers are still using the same amount of water they used 40-50 years ago. That’s how much irrigation technology has improved and it will continue to improve because we have no choice. That along with GMO programs that give us drought resistant genes into the seeds are helping to feed all of us.

Areas with "enormous amounts of water" don't have to worry about capturing it and don't have "good years."

Deserts in California make up about 25 percent of the total surface area. That's fricking huge.
