State of Thirst: California's Water Future - KQED QUEST

Are we in danger of running out of water? California's population is growing by 600,000 people a year, but much of the state receives as much annual rainfall as Morocco. With fish populations crashing, global warming, and the demands of the country's largest agricultural industry, the pressures on our water supply are increasing.

Thanks to all the nonsense the Democrats have been involved in, CA recently began to lose population.

If we don't change, Jesus will come down and change the water to wine.

The white race will die out in 100 years if we don't change alot.

We are overpopulated. Technology has allowed the world population to explode to over 9 billion. Without technology, the worlds natural food production could only support about 1 billion.

I think Californian's are in for a shock once the population doubles (60 million) by 2030 - I think.  It's odd the UK (my place) is also having issues with water supply - hard to believe in such a wet country.

everyone in Cali take water for granted we use water more to take showers and to make our lawns look beutiful. we hardly use it to drink . i know because i used to live there and i took 40 minute long shower and my friends ,family,everyone takes either takes 40 min or 1:05 minute long shower thats how we take in the showers and dont get me started on lawns because everyone there have pretty lawns and every night sprinklers pop out and take about 10 min to water lawn
