It is food . This area produces 50% of the produce sold in this country . It also produce many almonds and other nuts.
The trees are already damaged if not dead. If the water is not turned on soon produce prices are going to skyrocket everywhere.

Actually, in this case it IS food. This is a heavily agricultural area, and no water = no food grown.
