Imagine all the out of work gardeners. The rich will have water shipped in from out of state.
It’s sugaring time in the Northeast now. Thousands of maple syrup makers with high capacity Reverse Osmosis systems will be dumping tens of millions of gallons of fresh water on the ground. I’m sure some of them would ship to CA, if the price was right.
Some landscapers will be busy for a while installing artificial grass. I agree though that a lot of gardeners will be out of work.
