It looks like it’s really getting bad in the west

It's not just the lakes and rivers in trouble. The western aquifers are being continuously drawn down requiring wells to be deepened. It would take hundreds of years to bring them back up to the levels they were 50 years ago if normal rainfall levels returned. Those people out there are screwed.
The water being drained from the aquifers is for irrigating crops.

A large portion of the fruits and veggies that fill our grocery stores.

WE are ALL screwed.

What boggles my mind when I think of COMMIEfornia and the water problems they have out there is they have the Pacific Ocean right there. They border the largest body of water in the world, but instead of building desalinating plants (like other nations do) they give free shite to illegals and junkies and dream up ways of giving more scum more free shite. Why people out there put up with it is beyond me.
Cali taxes them to death and the working man can’t afford to ditch that shite hole state is what I figure.

You mean that the fortunes of the U.S. are tied to the prosperity of the states combined instead of just Oklahoma? I mean sure California accounts for almost 14.7% of U.S. GDP and 2nd place goes to Texas at 8.7% but Oklahoma accounts for 0.90% ($34k per capita under California) so we could break off to be our own 3rd world impoverished country.

I really do love this state and its people but lets have a reality check people.

Couldn’t agree more, I read an article and the government out there was against it saying it would be bad for the local animal population… I mean seems like a small sacrifice so that people have water but…

The fools out there are in their own little world. Desalinization plants would be bad for the environment evidently.

COSTA MESA, Calif., May 12 (Reuters) - California regulators on Thursday rejected a $1.4 billion desalination plant on environmental grounds, dealing a setback to Governor Gavin Newsom, who had supported the project as a partial solution for the state's sustained drought.

The California Coastal Commission voted 11-0 to reject the proposal by Poseidon Water, controlled by the infrastructure arm of Canada's Brookfield Asset Management (BAMa.TO), to build the plant on a low-lying coastal site at Huntington Beach, near the town of Costa Mesa, about 30 miles (50 km) south of Los Angeles.
