Schwarzenegger Declares California Drought Emergency
Schwarzenegger Declares California Drought Emergency
Some more rain is arriving tonight, if the weather mavens are to be believed, and carry over for a few days, but things aren't looking good.
Step one: encourage farmers who suck up water to raise crops like cotton and rice to move their operations to places that are better suited for water-guzzling crops.
Step two: encourage folks who plant golf courses in deserts to transform them into something else and/or let the land lapse back into sand dunes.
Step three: see where steps one and two take you.

Bertold Brecht:
Everything changes. You can make
A fresh start with your final breath.
But what has happened has happened. And the water
You once poured into the wine cannot be
Drained off again.
