Water has been a huge political football practically forever. It has
been ballot fodder more than once. Southern California was taking
water from the Colorado River, then they wanted Northern California's
water too. We don't want our water going to fill pools in more
suburban SoCal developments and the way it's delivered to the Valley
is just plain wasteful. There should be a better way (covered) by now
to get it to the farmers.
