- ZeroGravitas 4y agoAgriculture is about 1/3rd of water usage in California, we have more efficient irrigation schemes available that are only used in some places. They even have co-benefits like using less fertilizer which saves money as well as being good for the environment. Can even help the crops grow better if they get the right amount of water. But just as people won't buy EVs if they're allowed to pollute for free, as it'll make the EV seem expensive, it doesn't make business sense to install modern irrigation systems if you're paying close to zero for your water. This is where it becomes political and about legal claims to water rather than tech though.
