I too doubt almonds use that much water but they make an easy target since who cares about almonds right?. Much like not washing your car or not watering your lawn would never make much of a difference yet still people were making a big deal out of that as if that would solve everything. Farming is needed and I'm all for farming, but that's for fruits and vegetables which like almonds I doubt they take up that much water. If I had to guess it would probably be some type of animal feed that is wasting all that water. I remember reading a story somewhere where the saudi's were buying up land that had these old water rules to grow animal feed to bring back home. When other countries start using you this way to me is a sign of a BIG problem in your policies.
