We drove through the central valley and I was thinking the same thing.
They are still having that water war.
The people in the valley resent the water they send to LA
When you get up in the mountains the people resent the water they have
to send to the valley.
When you get to Tahoe City where the flood gates are, they don't care
at all. They use all the water they want, keep the lake full and send
anything extra down the Truckee River

The only place in California I saw a 6 gallon a minute shower head was
Tahoe and we had TWO of them. (Squaw Creek Resort)

Speaking of water problems...looks as though global warming might take
another hit.

They need a lot of water to cool a nuke plant too.
I have said many times, we will run out of water long before we run
out of oil.
The west isn't the only place with water problems.
The central plains of the US is running out of water.
Most of the water they pull out of the Ogallala Aquifer is really
"fossil water" that took thousands of years to accumulate there and is
not being replenished. When it's gone, it's gone.

Think salt water.
