Just for the record I change my underwear daily though.

The appeal of the southeast US is based on being able to live inexpensively without having to deal with snowy winters. But you have to put up with pretty shitty summers. I grew up thinking that's as good as it gets. But it's not. At least not for me.

I live in the SF Bay....not La. I was asking why they don't farm more of the nations food supply in say the fertile delta? The multiple growing season is probably the right answer. Economically getting more crops per year off sets the cost of moving water. Edit-for those of you saying it's the population of the west that is the problem...the documentary stated that 88% of the water was for ag not urban use....so if people everywhere would just stop eating we would have more water for us Californians.
Can't have your cake and eat it too. Let the southeast take care of the farming. Then you can have all the drinking water you would ever need.

Yes the heat sucks but you get acclimated to it.

some people choose to live near family and friends rather than moving across country and starting over. I am not one that will ever say you are wrong for leaving or I am right for staying...too each his own
what sucks to you may be great to me

BS... I've lived here 50 years and I'm STILL not acclimated to it.
I hate anything above say.. 85 and would prefer it no to get above say.. 40.

I'm tired of this being considered a crisis like it's the first time in human history a desert-like environment lacked moisture.
So what is your proposed solution to heavy populated state and agri-business that supplies large part of this country's produce.

Where does the water trickle down to? The water in those rice fields just flows back to the ocean via the Sacramento river, and is not re-used or captured. It is also contaminated.
They may use more water in aggregate on Almonds, but I think that is because they produce a lot more. I don't think Almond tress are nearly as water intensive as rice and alfalfa.
Why is the water contaminated? Lots of rice farms in Cali are set up to re-capture the water.

it's global warming,,,,,,, or is it the Earth, ridding itself of her surface, destroying everything inhabiting it? She destroyed everything on her surface many years ago, happening again?
She ready to start over?

I don't get it either, water doesn't leave the planet. There will never be a shortage of water. Drinkable water, yes. But that's why we have technology. To make it drinkable.

It's only 2016. Why aren't they de-salinating sea water using today's technology. No doubt they would come up with some environmental damage excuse not to do it.
They are building these FO and RO facilities now but it's a lot of infrastructure and the solution has to be ran through the process more than once to get out all of the draw solutes, an area where most of the FO research is taking place now. FO is considered more economical and efficient than RO but it's still sort of new technology and the membranes still are not where they should be but they are better than where they were 5-10 years ago. There is also a lot of waste to dump somewhere to consider as well as how to get the seawater. to the plants in ecologically sensitive coastal areas with an entire state full of eco terrorist nut jobs to contend with.

This is just ignorant

Nah. Lived there more than 30 years and never stopped hating the heat. Some people are just meant to live in it, others not so much

I read several years ago that Sausalito was going to do desalinization. As you noted sure to have environmental issues with dumping the salt back in the bay.

Because current methods are not very energy efficiency t at all, and every time they get an El Nino that refills the aquifer, they scrap these operations.

I'd rather live in Corpus Christi than Baton Rouge, but you shouldn't really talk too much shite about where others live if you're living in CC.
