> Agriculture consumes the vast majority of CA water.
Just do add some sources:
https://www.ppic.org/publication/water-use-in-california/ https://www.ppic.org/publication/water-use-in-california/
> "Water in California is shared across three main sectors.
Statewide, average water use is roughly 50% environmental, 40% agricultural, and 10% urban, although the percentage of water use by sector varies dramatically across regions and between wet and dry years."
