California; too much fame, not enough water

How will the State of California continue their ways of having limited water?

The State of California is considered the 10th best economy in the world and it’s a part of another country.  It’s so big and so much happens there, but the place is lacking water which is very concerning.  California is struggling with a water crisis, and they need to get out of it very soon before things get worse than they already are.

California grows and exports a majority of the fruits and nuts eaten by the rest of the country, so water shortages there affect food supply everywhere. Calculations by the Pacific Institute indicate that, by eating food grown in California, each American indirectly uses more than 300 gallons of the state's water each week. The state is a huge part of the United State’s economy and it will take a huge hit if they keep struggling with this crisis.  California is rapidly running out of water, so they along with the United States have to try new things like desalinization.  

Californians do seem to be answering the call to use less water in their daily lives after Gov. Jerry Brown imposed cutbacks in March. The state has cut deliveries of water to farmers through the state and federal aqueduct systems, and is now beginning to tackle the tough tasks of reforming water rights and curtailing some of the state's most senior users. The federal government is also sending millions of dollars in "drought aid," and local counties are exploring how to desalinate ocean water to replenish water supplies. Some enterprising individuals are even proposing to revive old plans to tow icebergs or haul water down from Alaska.
