@binky17 this is way off-topic, but one thing folks don’t realize is that CA’s problem is as much water storage as anything. One big concern is we are poisoning our rather large aquifers.

CA tends to get a decent amount of rain - averaged out between wet and dry years - but CA always counted on snowpack to “store” it. Warmer weather means smaller snowpack means we need other ways to store (and to refill the many underground natural aquifers.)
