LA will never run out of water; it's not the major water user in CA state and it has a huge body of potentially drinkable water next to it and the cash to use it.
- sydbarrett74 5y agoYep. I'd point to crops like almonds (one of the thirstiest crops imaginable) being grown in the Central Valley. 10% of CA's water goes to this one crop. Unfortunately, farmers are doubling down on this lucrative product while they still can. Whatever happens when most of CA goes dry isn't their concern. I guess they'll retire to Florida.
