I wonder what the views will change to in 2016 after a few more counties run out of water. Tulare and Fresno are down, let's see what comes up next!

Hopefully, more people will demand those drilling deepest pay residential market rate.

What? I'm confused. Is your wheat in CO or CA? Your location says you're in CA. ???

Uh, I am not in favor of fracking, nor denying the environmental damage caused by man, but it looks like you use it rather than valid presentations. Desal is needed.

The problem with AG is existing water right agreements that cannot legally be broken. Even of AG paid more it would not change the problem of .. too little water due to ... too little snow pack for several years.

CA needs more water soooo ................... where is it going to come from?

Our pal Tulemutt is going to pay for the voyages to Antarctica and all of the equipment to drag the ice to be cut off the glaciers to the port of Los Angeles and melt it down to keep the coal power plants running!

Why would I do anything to help support an unsustainable level of population? I have no problem existing happily on 5 or so gallons a day of water. Been doing it for years and years. I can wait the rest of you out as you plead for your 75 - 100 gallons a day.

"Drought"?

Bring it on!

Nope. Been arguing with the mutt since early 2015, unless "new" means anything less than 2 years registered.

2 years is a toddler.

It's still "early 2015", btw.

[Funny how these tweeker kids experience the passage of time, these days.]
