People need to wake up, turn off the TV and learn to read again, All of this was done Intentionally over a long time:

This statistic, widely parroted by the media and some politicians, is a gross distortion. Of the water that is captured for use, farmers get 40%, cities get 10% and a full 50% goes to environmental purposes — that is, it gets flushed into the ocean. By arbitrarily excluding the huge environmental water diversion from their calculations — as if it is somehow irrelevant to the water crisis — environmentalists deceptively double the farmers’ usage from 40% to 80%.

Water districts are sending out outrageous flyers fear mongering the comrades who in many cases can’t comprehend what is truly happening to them on so many levels.

Local meetings about water are getting testy. Farmers are laying odd comrades in droves.

Cannot end well-

This cannot end well. How does the Water Resources Control Board have the authority to arbitrarily overturn water rights case laws developed over a hundred years ago?
Oh yeah, that’s right. It’s has nothing to do with who’s right. It’s all about who has the might.
BTW, notice all the sacrifice falls on farmers, water companies, cities and humans in general. There are no cutbacks required or allowed to the 50% of all water that goes to the Delta for so called ‘water quality’ and fish like the Delta Smelt. The irony here is that without the dams built by humans, there would almost no water for fish at all. But then this is the insane asylum called California where humans are the lowest creatures on the food chain.

Hey Jerry, who said we need or want 50 million people! Let’s stop the illegals getting benefits, licenses, etc., stop subsidizing most everything that attracts people (i.e., Covered California). Maybe that will help. And, OK, maybe more folks are inevitable, but get real. The only sane way to deal with this is to STORE MORE WATER (duh).
