SF water is piped in because their groundwater is depleted and they are using other areas water. This led to the shutter of several cities at the time (1900s ish).
While farms do use significantly more water, they also are not in the city and they produce food. Farmers generally feel they should be able to use their water instead of the city leeching it.
