There is probably more water used just to keep golf courses in Palm Springs green than is consumed by every human in the state.
This also goes for Almond and Orange growers. I read that almond groves consume more water than every other crop.
The coastal cities of California, like San Diego, need to build desalinization plants. I was in Aruba recently. They have the second biggest desalinization plant in the world. After Israel. Aruba is a desert island. They get virtually no rain. Yet, I could drink the water right out of the tap and not worry about bacteria. They have plenty of water to irrigate, drink and swim in.
Wood, stop it. Common sense is not allowed today. We need a $50 billion high speed line doncha know
It takes a gallon of water to grow one almond. And we export most of the crop.
