You mean replenish the aquifers? That seems logical, hence it would never be considered by the politicians.

I currently live surrounded by water but even here we build reservoirs. And every arid place I have lived always built spreader dams. They are simple to build even with hand tools and allow you to get some use out of the water.

Perhaps California should consult with Israel. They can make the desert bloom with a lot less natural resources.
