Almonds consume as much California water as all household use (www.c-win.org)

70% of those almonds are exported. But you should take a pathetic dribble of a shower.

For those who don’t know, the flow restriction plug can be removed from most shower heads. But you didn’t hear it from me.

That's because they can charge us, the peasants, extra high emergency prices to reduce usage. But do the farmers get charged the same extorted rate, or are they actually subsidized?

Nope, they have water rights and if they don't use them they loose it so they grow alfalfa flood feilds then sell it to foreign countries
