So the liberals in the people's republic of California are gonna cut off water for babies, the sick, elderly, etc.? Very humane of them.

From 2010 (California is included as part of the southwest), the two primary water sources are the Colorado and the Rio Grande both insufficient to sustain the population growth.

This Backgrounder offers an historical overview of the critical issue of water in the American Southwest, where the water situation is becoming increasingly dire during a prolonged — but not uncharacteristic — drought in the arid region. We also examine the demographic trends that drive high rates of U.S. and, as a result, Southwest population growth. We present evidence that indicates there is insufficient water for the region’s current population, much less the larger future populations that will result if immigration continues at its present high rate.

The Southwest is the fastest-growing region of the world’s fourth-fastest-growing nation, part of a demographic trend that — with little acknowledgement, media coverage, or national debate or discussion — has quietly moved our nation into the forefront of global population giants. Few ask if the nation’s high growth rate — which continues despite a decades-long, near-replacement birth rate and which quickly transformed the Southwest from one of the most sparsely populated regions in the world to one holding the nation’s second largest city and another larger than Paris — is sustainable.

Also the last century is considered the wettest known period in the southwest.

California is to blame for the water shortage yet they still get to tell everyone how much water they can have. Doesn't seem fair somehow. Only in government can you screw up so badly and not only keep your job, but be put in charge of the solution.

I say we fix that and jack up the price of food for the rest of the country to make up for it.

That and 70% of their water goes right back into the ocean. The enviro-whacks made sure that any dams or reservoirs would never be built.
