Dude, come on. Even if I only ate food I grew myself the California drought will not change one tiny microscopy small amount. The HUGE waste of water in California and the massive overpopulation there is the problem, not me eating a prime rib. Mandate no more watering of yards and gardens (and the screaming and crying will start that instant) and reduce the farm waste. Then sit and watch as the area burns to the ground because it is so dry from lack of watering. The root cause of the problem is the entire area is a freaking desert. Only because humans water the heck out of it is it livable and beautiful. I was just out there a few months ago. The civilized watered areas are green. Everything else is brown and dry. |
I don't live in the desert end. Too many people in socal for the resources, and too many of them are idiots. If you cut LA and SF counties off from drinking water and the population in those areas dropped say, 95%, we would be in decent shape.
I will not stop watering my fruit trees or vegetable garden, no way in hell. I live where the water in most of the state comes from. |
Here in the PNW, we have had an unusually dry summer. I've lived here all my life.
I've had to water perennials multiple times just to keep them alive...never had to do that before in 40 years of living here.....once per summer is usual. Let's call this a mini drought. It ends today/tomorrow. The weather guessers can get it right most of the time when forcasting rain. It's that time of year. We are a bit ahead this year for rainfall but behind for the rainy season.(Oct to Oct) & thus down on snowpack. Averages will get ya in the end. |
Not California related, but I used to feel guilty for watering my lot in Montana 8 hours a day. Until I happened to see my neighbor's lot one day on Google maps :roll eyes:

The interesting thing, Tijuana has a population equal to San Diego, yet they don't use anywhere near the water of San Diego. Quote:
