California topped off all of their reservoirs in 2019. These systems of dams are designed to sustain california for five years, according to local farmers that i’ve talked to. However the water supply is being diverted into the ocean now because of insane environmental laws.
A farmer in california pays more for water than labor, taxes or anything else.
Gonna need some citations on that one big hoss. Most of the talk out of California lately is farmers in an arms race to drill the deepest well, because they're planting water-hungry crops like almonds like fiends (good profit margins so fuck the water table).

Is that from the Resnick [0] talking points memo? The Resnicks should grow their almonds back in the Middle East where they belong instead of in the CA desert.
