“Right now, California should seriously consider phasing out (or severely limiting) any form of agriculture that are water hogs. That means no more almond or cotton production in the state until we get normal rains again. Just temporarily putting a stop to production of these two crops could free up a huge amount of water for other uses.”

We ought to start with rice and cattle. The trees will die and that will end the almonds. But here agriculture IS the problem. There is enough water storage for the population. Also, Brown had better tell the rest of the country that we're not going to be feeding them any more. Most of the fresh fruits and vegetables they all enjoy comes from California. So you Texans who love to denigrate California had better find a recipe for marinated cow patties, and get used to eating more Poke Salad and Fricassee of Armadillo.

Correct. Maybe it's time to grow a LOT more of your favorite vegetables east of the Rocky Mountains, where (generally) the precipitation is higher than in California.
