Living smack-dab in the embattled Central Valley of California, where
our legislatures cause more than enough trouble as they endlessly
legislate Utopia, we now have the feds strangling our valley water
supply. I love fishing the delta, the main body of water at the center
of this war, and I want a healthy fishery, but thousands of acres of
farmland now lay fallow as the feds have cut off the water supply to
save the 2" delta smelt - and the salmon run. Even I would choose
people over fish - but that isn't the real issue, I don't think.

I say the problem is not NorCal farmers, but SoCal water guzzlers. Let
the SoCal millions pay $400 per month for water as they build
desalinization plants along the coast to supply themselves with the
water they need. In return, we'll continue to grow food for them. As
it is, y'all will be finding more and more of your produce labled
"Product of Chile" (or name most any country).

Oh yeah, we should begin importing much of our food, shouldn't we? Why
not? We just love importing oil that we also refuse to drill and
refine ourselves.

God bless America.

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)

I figured out a way to unrestrict the new shower head. Actually, I called
the company that makes it, explained what I needed to do, and the tech told
me how to drill out a piece. Off to ACE for the drill and now I have a nice
shower every morning.

As long as it's not other people wasting water. We got your number now,
Babe. Take your position to Krause's rear and enjoy the aroma, Sweetie

It's that old "I'm doing OK, you take care of the problem", that is so
common among liberals. Doesn't it make you sick that these people are so
selfish?

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

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.
