40 million people use incredible amounts of water and the central valley is also the nations bread basket. Only an idiot presumes we waste water here. Just how much water do you imagine the world's 6th largest economy needs to maintain its productivity?If you knew anything at all about California, you would simply admit, that yes, California has the wettest city in the Nation.101 inches of rain for the year! Dismissed as no help! As I stated, this is all about politics, nothing more, why else would one ignore the wettest place in the continental USA!
Because if you knew anything at all about Northern California, the water is needed for the summer months when daily temps of well over 90° dry out the forests and chaparral and make for very damaging fire situations. Also the geographic area of Gasquet makes no measurable impact on water stores.
From colored drawings, to nonsensical rants, people are all uptight when it is pointed out that California is wet. Why? Because it is all about selling the public on Global Warming and a phony drought.
I hate to break it to you but SoCal is a desert. Always has been, always will be. Most of the Central Valley is likewise pretty arid and is only arable thanks to extensive irrigation. What I find truly ludicrous is there are farmers who plant rice (near Dos Palos) In a fucking desert. It is sheer madness.
There IS something called dry land rice. Not all rice needs lots of water to grow. Here's an example:
