I know a guy who bought property to build on during one of those droughts back in the 1980s’and waited for several years for approval ..due to the lack of new sewer and water...hookups..
thats about to hit again I suspect.
this was in Northern CA..where it does rain...on occasion...
CA’s population shot up greatly in this time, requiring much more water, but our lib gov’t and judges made sure that delta smelt had to have more water rights than citizens and farmers. This drought would not hurt us if we got rid of several million illegals and tarred & feathered our gov’t that protect s small fish over citizens.
I am doing my part. I bought 24 16.9oz bottles of spring water for $2.99
I am storing them for when I experience a drought and become thirsty....
