I will never support any efforts to depopulate any state. I can make jokes and poke fun, but the reality is California cannot sustain itself without desalination efforts. Drop the choo choo and build more desalination plants because your neighboring states don’t have that option available to them.

You might have some “fun” with this State graphic:

And you can have more “fun” by clicking on the reservoir’s name which brings up a bunch of current and past data on that particular storage faclility. And again you still need to understand that agribusiness is the biggest problem we have. California feeds the entire country, but we do it by watering a desert. We need to stop growing water-intensive crops like rice. When we went to Vegas last year to attend my wife’s Las Vegas High Reunion, we had to take a detour off of I-5 and it took us through groves of fruit and nut trees, all of which had been converted to drip irrigation. So the farmers are finally getting the message that they have to conserve or go out of business.
