for years I've made fun of "conserve water! take short showers!" as California's response to endless drought, citizens taking the heat for hotels and agriculture using the VAST majority of what's left of our aquifer

I recall a claim from a climatologist in an NPR story during a drought in the '90s: 1) The SW is a desert not suitable for habitation; 2) For a brief period incl the 20thc, it had above-normal rain; 3) it was (then) reverting to its geological mean. Helps set expectations, anyway, if kinda true.

Here in AZ at least (72% of AZ water use is agriculture) farmers are actually incentivized to grow water intensive crops like alfalfa so they don't lose the water rights

The only time I’ve agreed with Dick Cheney was when he said that all those little individual acts of virtue don’t add up to shit if you’re trying to save the planet

The Resnicks screwed the entire central valley up and I had a toilet that took 3 flushes to do its job.

As someone who grew up through the late 80s-early 90s drought, some of that is drilled into my head. Then I realize all those lovely flood irrigated orchards in the Central Valley were allowed to do so well after we'd been told conservation is our responsibility. To say nothing of W(o)nderful Co.
