A three-year drought in California is bringing a decades-long fight over water to a head, forcing tough choices. Lesley Stahl reports

The problem is, too many people living in a small space. America would be at optimum at around 200 million......which coincidentally is pretty darn close to what it would be without the million people a year immigration, along with illegal, and chain migrations.
This is such old news. The “Greens” are sending the H20 to the sea, to save those stupid little fish. Just ask Nancy. The fantastic central valley of California is simply screwed, regardless of what the Governorator is trying to accomplish to save his reputation.
There is no drought in California, the Sierra snowpack has been normal. I know, I live in the middle of it. Total political fabrication based on saving those stupid fish.
Yep, the envirowackos won’t let us drill for oil off of our coast and they won’t let the water go to the farmers. They feel so good about themselves as they cause the state of CA and its farmers to go broke.

I totally agree. There is just no political reason to EVER proclaim the opposite. Repeat a lie often enough(global warming, Hillary Clinton is the smartest woman,etc.) and it becomes the truth.
I heard a greenie talking about this about an hour ago on the tv, he said the problem was that farmers shouldn't plant crops that need rain every year.
Among the most stupid statements I've ever heard.
Well duh........food doesn’t come from farms it comes from walmart !
< / sarcasm>
I heard that to and wondered just what he proposed the farmers plant that did not need water.
I heard Arnold and the legislature talking about another big Bond issue to fund the levees and water problems and just wondered how they would ever pay it off with the Financial Crisis they have now??????????
Amen - California has not experienced drought. This is relatively normal for California. Population is no longer increasing. Almost as many people are leaving as are being born and moving in (illegals included).
California has a management problem at all government levels. Nothing that can’t be solved at the ballot box, but I doubt it will be.
So do they highlight the irrigation pumps being intentionally turned off to save a minnow?
California also running low on brain cells in the California Assembly and in the Governor’s office.
The greenie should have used some sense and proposed that farmers plant crops that were more adapted to the environment they are grown in.
Everyone knows that plants crave Brawndo. They should plant crops that use that instead of rain.
It’s got electrolytes!
