California's almond trees alone use five times more water (1.1 trillion gallons) than the entire DWP delivers to Los Angeles residents in a year (200 billion gallons).

Texas has been in a drought for several years but it kept selling water from the Highland Lakes in Central Texas to rice farmers in the south. After so many towns' water supply was gone around the lakes and businesses closed, they finally cut off the rice farmers. About time. How about growing a crop suited to the south's climate that doesn't require so much imported water, huh?
