It isn’t a water source problem, it’s a brain dead liberal problem. California has a cyclic drought weather pattern. However the idiot politicians ruled that the rivers must run to support the fish in the streams that they put there. So they required the reservoirs be drained out to sea to keep the river water level high all summer long.
You are all right; California’s laws aggravate California’s own lack of rainfall.
“It never rains in California, but girl, don’t they warn ya?”
