ParticipantAgribusiness uses over 80% of CA’s water consumption. Of that, Cotton,rice and alphalfa take the lions share. Residential consumption is very small and thus does not matter much when it comes to reductions or conservation of any kind. If the state govt really gets worried, they can just quit giving these special, high consumption crops anymore deals on water.

Participantif they are not done properly there are serious health risks. The water cannot be airborne and there are a litany of safety measures to put in.
Would it be safe and healthy to sit on that grass, or eat vegetables that were watered with gray water? If not, it mostly defeats reasons to have the lawn in the first place.

Shocking if true. Why would we grow such a water-intensive crop as rice in CA?
