California is in a state of severe drought and you are more worried that people won't be able to water their lawn than that the state will potentially run out of water within a year?
I'm glad to see that he is ordering golf courses to reduce their water usage. The idea of golf courses in the desert is an obscene waste of a precious resource. Arizona and Nevada should follow suit.
The same thing could be said for the LA basin...You do understand the only thing keeping it habitable is water from far away right places like Arizona and Nevada?
California is next to the biggest ****ing pond of water on Planet Earth, yet is complaining about a water shortage.
Did I miss something?
'Murica.
I take it you've never been to the ocean and swallowed a mouthful of water. Converting ocean water into drinkable water is a very expensive process, not something that can be easily done in mass quantities.

Expensive?
Are you consuming the right-wing LIES, that somehow we cannot "afford" to cultivate fresh water for our citizens? Where do you think this money comes form?
How is it that the wealthiest monetarily sovereign government cannot "afford" the technology to desalinate the world's largest pond, but can "afford" to wage countless wars? How is it that "cost" is the common excuse to refuse to solve any problems that serve the interest of the general population?
You've been duped.
My question will stand. How can the wealthiest state in the wealthiest nation bordered by the largest water supply on the planet possibly have such a dire water shortage?
Water usage in california for drinking water is only about 5% of the usage. The largest usage is for agriculture at over 70%.
That's what I just said. According to liberals if there were no illegals there would be no farming in California. The valley farmers would pack up and we would save billions of gallons of water wasted on growing produce in the desert.
