I will believe California has a water problem when Obama stops flying out to LA for a speech or a fundraiser followed by a few days of golf at an exclusive luxury desert golf resort in Palm Springs. When water is cut off to the luxury desert resorts, and the swimming pools of the wealthy progressives are empty, I will believe California has a water problem.

Soon California’s only crops will be Democrat voters and the takers.

California farmers argue that without federal and state government subsidies, crops could not be grown in desert areas. That's a foolish, self-serving argument. If I were an Alaskan wanting to use government subsidies to build hothouses to grow navel oranges, I could use the same argument: Without government subsidies, I couldn't grow navel oranges in Alaska.

Great comparison!

The bottom line for solving California’s water problem is that there needs to be a move toward a market-oriented method for the distribution of water. Government management has been a failure.

Without civil engineering and ability to bring water from distance sources, the Roman Empire could not have existed.

Governments have few legitimate functions, providing access to clean water both for humans and crops could be considered one such function.

The drought is not the cause of the water shortage in California. The cause is from the leftest agenda that wishes to control every aspect of our lives.

The politicians and the environmentalist work hand in hand to see that no problem is ever solved. It is just one crisis (that should not go to waste) to another.

Cut the water to farms to the point they are no longer economically viable, they will shut down and our food production will (like many industries) move out of the country. That would be bad enough, but if 80% of the water usage is in fact used for agriculture, I am willing to bet that 80% of California’s wealth is also from agriculture.

Farms that no longer produce a product, will no longer produce any income that can be taxed.

Global Warming?More like polittical stupidity and poor to No planning.If you know that you have inadequate supplies of water you cut back on anything that is water intensive.

Did California do. That?Oh no.They did just the opposite.

I can see wanting to maintain your population but if you can’t support what you have don’t ask for more people to move there.

Just wondering why they are not considering drip irrigation like they use in Israel. Visiting Israel, I saw the desert transformed into lush gardens and farms using very little water. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuWoPLR-rpk

A decade ago, a geologist pointed out that in the geological record, California experienced 100 and 300 year drought long before people went there.

I found their water

That will only be $10 million for consulting
