I feel like there needs to be some kind of reckoning when it comes to water rights in CA. Like, say that water rights will be rationalized 25 years from now. Maybe it can be done under the guise of eminent domain. Give farmers who are getting essentially taxpayer subsidized free water enough time to prepare for it, and then 25 years from now create some kind of market based system where water goes to 1) people, and 2) whoever can use it most productively. Farmers can buy/sell water futures if they need higher certainty in what they will pay rather than a rate based on demand. It just doesn't make sense that the fact that a plot of land which was occupied 300+ years ago is setting the precedent for how we use water today.
