CA has droughts, but not water shortages. Most of the water goes to highly inefficient and low value farming.

Sure, but without that farming, how would we get our almond milk lattes?
I remember a segment on the national (PBS) news like 10 years ago (a drought year).
Part of it was on a farm with a tree farmer. He was lamenting how cuts were forcing him to spend a lot on fuel to pump from the aquifer (destroying it!).
With the reporter there he fired up the well. He was just flooding the field. Just soak everything.
There are better ways to grow nut trees.
