Ed, I can understand your not knowing CA history, but sf has zero excuse.
In fact, sf gets her water from Hetch-Hetchy, which is 170 miles away.
How does she think that pristine Sierra snow water gets all the way to
San Fransico? By taxi!?

SoCal (Southern California) has been robbing the rest of the state
blind for water for decades. Pipelines are entirely too small.
Check out the California Aquaduct:

These canals are typically 100 ft wide (at surface) and 30 ft deep.
These water wars, which make up the biggest point of contention in
NorCal and SoCal politics, have been going on for decades. Even as
far back as the 19th century.
