Great, maybe California can give us back some of our Colorado River water rights.

  Not til you start wasting it on growing almonds and using the profits to bribe a few different legislatures.

    That's not an accurate description of the history of this issue. There's a ton of crazy stuff in the actual history, no need to make stuff up.

      Can you recommend some relevant reading?

        _Cadillac Desert_ (Marc Reisner) is the classic, though it's quite old now. I've heard people recommend _Dead Pool_ (James Powell) but I haven't read it.

        I went to college in CA and took a couple classes on it. That was over 20 years ago so I don't remember what the books were.

      It was a snarky one-liner, not an exhaustive history of the Central California water wars.
