Isn’t this whole water thing silly when the bulk of water usage is from agriculture (80%) and they don’t have anything in place to remove high water use crops (almonds, rice) in CA? The state would probably be better off just paying these protected farms and not grow certain crops here that use insane amounts of water.
Also, no one seems to care I think because water doesn’t seem expensive in general. If water became more like 500/month, people would cut back a lot more. Water service also hasn’t been disrupted so a lot of people don’t even know we are in a shortage (even though the shortage I think is more a fault of agriculture vs regular consumers).
