In California? I’d agree with you. The state really hasn’t upgraded the infrastructure since the 70’s. We’ve probably tripled the population since then.

- PaulDavisThe1st 5y agoTake a look at Phoenix. Way more than tripled, and now uses less water for residential purposes that it did in the 1990s. Your assumptions that people living somewhere are the main users of water is way, way out of touch with the reality: the main user is agriculture. In my state, NM, residential use is 7%, commercial/retail/business is 7%, evaporation is 7% and agriculture is 77%.
