Yeah, but at least agriculture provides some value. About 10% of California water is consumed to water landscaping, a total waste and loss. Every part of the state has native plants that are beautiful, and perfectly suited as water-free landscaping. The most egregious examples are the desert areas that are made to look "tropical." Many of the desert cities require water waste by law- you can be fined for, e.g. not having a bright green lawn. Many of the residents don't even know they live in a desert. It seems crazy to talk about limiting water to agriculture when this is still going on.
