Liberals and their policies do nothing but cause harm. They should be imprisoned in some ghastly banana republic hellhole!
All I know is that the California legislature is a ship of fools. They are killing the goose that laid the golden egg — agriculture in CA. The farmers were promised this water in perpetuity. Without agriculture, CA is just another collection of substandard housing — too crowded and too expensive, shacks on the hillside. Will it become Brazil next? Last week I read that 30% of the pop. doesn’t speak English and nearly 50% are not citizens. What are all these folks going to do once the agriculture industry literally “dries up”?
BTTT!
I have said before and I will say again that the Enbvironmental Lobby poses the greatest threat to the United States Economy and National Security. Its’ tentacles control politicians, the EPA and other State and Federal Regulatory agencies that to the detriment of progress, prosperity and the ability of the U.S. to be energy self sufficient.
Sounds like the old Water Wars of the Post-Civil War era may happen this time in CA.

Because of the drought the farmers are drilling many wells and groundwater is being pumped furiously. Aquifers are going dry and well are going dry.
So they are setting up local agencies to regulate how much can be pumped.
This is the way it is done in Texas, with the local/regional underground water conservation districts that decide the minimum level in the aquifer.
Many freepers will probably remember Boone Pickens and Mesa Water getting their water from the Panhandle Underground Conservation District. He tried to sell that water to DFW and San Antonio but nobody ever bought. Eventually the drought hit Texas and Lake Meredith went dry so 7 city water agencies located in the panhandle bought Boone's water.
