We need this rain bad. We need a lot more than this too.
Our governor just had to back off from an ultimatum he threw down to the legislature, the point being "come up with a water policy or I will veto everything until you do" He didn't, but it underscores how desperate our water situation has become. And its only going to get worse if we don't find new ways to provide for everyone and agriculture too. Its a long complicated debate but to me the only real answer is more storage(dams) and desalination in So Cal. Or no more showers.
The water situation weighs on us (those paying attention anyhow) and the news is just capitalizing on that fact. Business as usual.
