I live in California and we have had 4 years of drought. This means that some crops haven't been planted because of the water situation, the water table has gone down, and there are towns that have no water. I have seen whole orchards pulled out because of no water and dairies that are 50-60 years in business closing. This winter we have had a wet winter and good mountain snows, but we need another 4 years of the same type of weather before we can recover. So, to store water for irrigation of crops is the only sensible thing we can do.
