The sad truth is that the net outcome of this drought will probably hurt those in less developed countries more than Americans. Californians will not go thirsty or not be able to take showers; there's enough water for municipal supplies. Agriculture will, however, take a hit. While the valley produces a huge amount of produce, it is still a small part of the overall California economy. Prices will go up for vegetables which will need to be produced elsewhere. Americans won't really notice. SV will keep on humming. But in other places the prices for food will go up. Remember the 2007-8 food price crisis? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007%E2%80%9308_world_food_price_crisis http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007%E2%80%9308_world_food_pric... Most Americans don't.
