San Francisco's Drought Isn't Inevitable

Water regulators made an unprecedented move to begin cracking down on water use in the sacramento river and san joaquin river water sheds. The state produces three times as many acres of almonds as it did 25 years ago, with california most likely entering a third straight year of disappointing rainfall and snow melt. Larry elder said drought is not inevitable, and said he supports building more reservoirs and dams to store run off. But he has also voiced support for permitting disalinization projects. These measures can negatively impact the environment for this generation and generations to come.
