As long as those liberal *******s dont come to Texas then I could care less.

[PwnedTheism]

This is what happens when you grow crops in a fukking Desert.


For Liberals always calling conservatives stupid for denying climate change, the irony is certainly not lost on me.
If i recall correctly 75% of California's water goes into agriculture.



Edit:

- Domestic total consumption : 4037.56
- Industrial total consumption : 658.28
- Thermoelectric total consumption : 6601.10
- Agricultural use (irrigation for crops specifically) : 22843.43
- plus some marginal use for mining, aquaculture, livestock and public landscaping

CA government logic:

brb farming/agriculture in desert
brb multiple waterparks in CA

Drought

Gov. Brown solution: let's punish everyone with fines and possibly shut off their water.

[GooBaaa]

California needs to sink into the pacific ocean asap

[disphugginflip]

I did a PCH road trip last week, and the drive back through California was sad. Orange trees as far as the eye can see in front of you and behind you all brown and withered.

So instead of finding a solution to your own problem you're just going to take from other people's resources....LOL. Remind you of anything else California is known for?

Farmers on the Murray Darling Basin in Australia have run into the same problem, they started farming cotton on what was essentially unfarmable land by exploiting the FUK out of the river and now 100 years later there's salt all over their land and the river is dead and they're crying about climate change.

One would think humanity would have learned from the way we phucked over the middle east with bad farming practices during the last 2000 years but nooooo. This kind of chit is exactly what killed the Inca.

Its because charlie sheen forgot to turn off his hose when he was drunk and high all day.

Someone Gonna make a fortune on bottled water in couple of years lolz

Nestle already is, still taking as much water as they want from California aquifers with no limits, regulation, or payments to anyone other than an Indian tribe: http://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/top...ght/ar-AAaIVHj

California just entered its fourth year in record-breaking drought, but that hasn't stopped food and beverage giant Nestlé from drawing water from multiple reserves in the state to make its bottled water.

People are furious.

The company uses California water in its Arrowhead and Pure Life brands, which usually sell for about a dollar each.

In response, a group has drawn up a petition demanding that Nestle halt its operations in the state.

The campaign is being run by Courage, a nonprofit organization based in California, and it's gathered 135,000 signatures since going up at the end of March.

Nestlé gets to draw water from this area of the state thanks to its longstanding contract with the Morongo Band of Cahuila Mission Indians, who are based in a southern area of the state near the Coachella Valley, according to the Desert Sun. The company's plant is based just inside the Morongo Reservation.

Regardless of where the plant is located, there are currently no laws on the books to regulate how much water can be taken from underground aquifers (a.k.a. "groundwater.") New regulations were recently introduced for this exact purpose, but they won't kick in for serveral years. The only laws that exist now govern surface water, the kind in rivers and lakes.

"All water belongs to people of the state, but if [Nestlé is] drawing groundwater, that is unregulated," public information officer for the California State Water Resources Control Board Tim Moran told ABC News. That means Nestlé (and anyone else, for that matter) can draw as much water from the area's underground aquifers as it wants.

And they're taking quite a lot, at least by some accounts.

In 2013, the most recent year for which Morongo submitted reports, nearly 600 acre-feet of groundwater was tapped in the area, which translates to about 200 million gallons a year, the Desert Sun reports. That's enough water to supply the needs of around 400 homes in the Coachella Valley.

Still, that amount pales compared to the amount California Governor Jerry Brown hopes to save (500 billion gallons) with the water restrictions announced last week.

But some argue that drawing any amount from this area is dangerous, especially in the middle of Califonria's worst drought in 1,200 years.

"The reason this particular plant is of special concern is precisely because water is so scarce in the basin," Peter Gleick, president of a water research non-profit and author of the book "Bottled and Sold: The Story Behind Our Obsession with Bottled Water" told the Desert Sun.

"If you had the same bottling plant in a water-rich area, then the amount of water bottled and diverted would be a small fraction of the total water available," he added. "But this is a desert ecosystem. Surface water in the desert is exceedingly rare and has a much higher environmental value than the same amount of water somewhere else."

You're 5'8 you don't need that much water coming for yours first

I live in Texas so good luck taking anything from me. It would be your last mistake. Keep up that welfare mentality that your chithole state is known for. Hopefully an earthquake will come and just send you fukers out to the pacific to rot

[FIREnICE]

ken is a hero we don't deserve

NotY is the hero we need.

Edit - Governor just passed a bill to reduce consumer water consumption 25%. Not sure when it goes into effect. Big agriculture is omitted tho.
