Not if you are a farmer that doesn't get any water from the state because of cutbacks.

- AnimalMuppet 11y agoSure. 400 acre-feet could save a farmer. One farmer, maybe two or even three. That's with 300 railcars. That's three trains. I mean, it's great for that one farmer. But as a solution to the larger problem? It doesn't work.
- pm24601 11y agoWater Train, INC. is not trying to solve the drought. They are trying to make money. If farmers or cities pay more dollars for the water than it costs Water Train, INC to ship the water in - then Water Train, Inc is happy. There are people out in the Central Valley who don't have running water any more and are relying on very expensive bottled water for every thing.

But it sounds like something the cities and the state should be looking into as well.
