From reading recent news, California agriculture uses way more water than California residents. Now we need fruits and vegetables so we can't just do away with agriculture. But we can do something about which agriculture we allow in the state. Just over 50% of the water in the Colorado River Basin is used to produce beef and dairy. This means the water consumed by the animals themselves along with the water used to grow the alfalfa they eat. Also, lots of alfalfa is sold overseas to be fed to cattle. Almonds are by far the most water-intensive crop in the Central Valley. Much of the crop goes to almond milk. If we could roll back these two food classes we would have much less of a water problem.
