There are indeed easy things that can be done that make things better. There are harder things that can be done that make things better still.
Obviously everything has costs and tradeoffs. You're the one with the maximalist position that apparently no regulation of water usage in southern California is acceptable because of... something about being mean to poor people or whatnot.
I guess my point is that yes, there is a lot we can do to avoid using water but no, none of those options are free. It isn't fair to say that "this is just a made up problem" when the solutions have costs and you have to pick between them carefully.
