From 2011 to 2014 #California had the worst drought in over 1k years. About 2/3 of fruit the US consumes comes from Cali. The drought continued until early 2019 and are expected to occur more often. A reliable water solution needs to happen now. This will be my 1st priority.

YES!!! Thank you!! People seem to wring their hands over de-salination, and true it’s not a great solution. The easy fix is to *build more reservoirs*. But it’s too obvious. Too basic. People say ‘it won’t work’. ??? It works!
The problem is the state tries to fix the issue and can only work with its resources. If the Fed gets involved not only is there more money but can work across state lines to develop something that benefits everyone. It won't be easy or cheap but it's better than the alternative.
