In the not too distant past, if California was a country, it would have the fifth largest economy in the world. Lack of water would strangle the financial life out of California in two years.
“you never know the value of water until the well runs dry”
Recent floods alleviated the drought in Oklahoma and Texas. We typically experience weather extremes and have learned to adapt. I don’t think “moonbeam and associates” have a clue about water distribution in times of stress. It’s only going to get worse. Chevron seems to get enough water to run steam injection in oil wells while farmers crops perish. Once that water goes down an oil well, the only way to reclaim it is evaporation which leaves plenty of waste products in the pit.
northern and Southern California will be battling for water and then coastal verses interior. Lack of water has historically triggered revolutions and invasions.
