Last week the Board of Supervisors here is San Joaquin County voted to not declare the drought over. So I guess I am hallucinating anyway.

A little learning... etc.

It will take more than three weeks of rain to compensate for ten years of essentially a continuous drought.
Most of the rainfall will simply run off.

Recharging the depleted aquifer has barely begun.
Most agricultural wells in the central valley are now twice as deep as when the drought began. Some now in the neighborhood of 1000 feet deep.

Collosal amounts of power are now needed to irrigate the thousands of acres of agricultural fields.

Food.

This is a joke. Every time you allow any sort of standing water that might end up in the aquifer, you get fined. They would rather flush it to the ocean.

If you read the article,it is all about getting all the government money possible.
