Santa Clara Valley WD indicates that they import at least 253,000 acre-feet of water per year (primarily stored in Anderson Reservoir), so unfortunately the levels there aren’t really an indication of drought conditions either. (Draining Shasta Dam to fill San Luis & Anderson, etc.).

When there’s water in the soil, it can evaporate into the air. When it evaporates, it forms clouds and falls back down again.
When the soil is dry, the air gets dryer, clouds don’t form, and the drought intensifies.
The best cure for drought is.....water.
When Cali dries up and blows away, it should cause a reduction in property values. Maybe that’s the goal? good for investors?
Surely, there’s a reason to crush California by making people desperate. Oh, I forgot, it’s part of the USA whose demise is soon./s
