Water is life. Having lived where there was no water except for what could be captured during a rain, very few things survived. Just about every living thing is a consumer of water in some way. The trick is to figure out our priorities in order to best allocate it. With approx 40M people in CA, I would think that residential water use would take a priority over certain crops. Keep in mind, though, that up until 10 or 20 years ago, agriculture was the number one revenue generator in the state of CA. Amazing when you consider all that comes from CA. I’m pretty sure that the lobbying power from this group pulls some weight in sacto.
