CA has been fighting Water Wars for longer than I am old — and I’m older than dirt! Mostly it has been Southern CA that wanted Norther CA water — and AZ’s and everybody else’s.
But there was a water authority that the farmers signed on to that promised them water in perpetuity. I don’t know what they paid into it, but they did pay. Now the politicians are denying them their water. There would be plenty of water to go around if so much was not wasted by the enviros — draining right out to sea.
Enviros are everyones enemy.
