It doesn't have to be like this. It's all economics.
There's No Real Shortage Of Water In California. Can You Guess Why?

People don't realize just how much agriculture there is in CaliforniaCarbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that -
Yes you are right.. it's because "Man" diverted the rivers and use far too much of the water.. See it's Man Made water shortage, because man requires more water than is available..In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.Comment

That article is so fucked on so many levels and is geared towards a profit making scheme based on big business. The same people who want to tax those who use SOLAR PANELS!
"Moreover, we don’t have to shut down that many farms, we just have to shut down the least valuable farms and use water more efficiently."
So they decide which farms are most valuable and it's not based on water efficiency
There's always been a power play for water & electricity in California and there always will be until half the state finally floats off into the ocean.
PS. I'm sick of these links to spammy FACEBOOK articles geared at tracking GFY users. Crap!

the article doesn't even address the draining of the acquifers and the ground water depletion.
not to mention we are in fact in a drought. a weather drought not a we're low on water on account of some low profit farms so we're in a drought drought.
this drought is a serious mother fucker.Comment

The problem is the whole right to water thing with out having to be accountable for usage. I was driving through New Mexico whom is in the middle of the same drought as Cali and see a fucking fig farm in the middle of NM. In the middle of the day, they are watering the fuck out of the place, I can only imagine how much just that one farm uses.
Ok well maybe it wasn't figs, truth is I have no fucking idea what they were but it was clearly some sort of farm and they were wasting a lot of water on it in the middle of the desert. This was just outside of Roswell, NM.In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.Comment

It's crazy that that much of those various items comes from just one state. You would think that things would be spread out a lot more to broaden the effect of regional droughts. I've never understood why FL for example doesn't have more farming. We get lots of rain here and the center of the state has large amounts of un-populated land.
As far as the water bottles. I saw a article or video about the amount of water the bottled water companies use. (people were bitching about them getting water too cheap from the govt and reselling it)
According to that article, a single golf course uses more water in a day than the bottling companies do.In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.Comment

Last week I took a trip to a town in California called Porterville in Tulare County. The homes in the east part of the town have no water, (over 600 dry city wells) and the west part has nut farms with flooded fields. It's crazy,, Half a town has no water and nobody cares

Got too far reaching for me to continue, my statement was that people don't know just how much produce comes from California. Our climate is perfect for growing, thats why we have the best pot, enough rice to feed Japan.
It is the top state for agriculture in the US.Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff.

I think most people, specially those on the East Coast don't understand how bad it really is..Last week I took a trip to a town in California called Porterville in Tulare County.

This was in Texas last summer, I forget what lake it was. That's a boat ramp and it was obviously well out of the water. In fact the water was a few thousand feet away. Where I took this picture was likely 10ft under water at the time that boat ramp was last used.
I think it's been quite a while since boats were left unattended here..
It was like this all over the place in Texas and there were next to no open boat ramps on any of the lakes unless it was on a River with water level controlled by dams.
This was a waterfall at a previous time, not too long ago..

Naturally, as humans use the water. And usually there is not limitless amount of anything in restricted area.
