You didn't answer the question, did you? The OP's point was that the "crisis" exists in regulations which allow the farmers to use as much water as they currently do, not in available water supply. It's not a simple question, really. Do the farms need as much water? Does the state need as much agriculture going on? "Call your governor" is not helpful here.
