California's Water Problem

I'm sorry, if you're gonna speak about water you need to talk about lake Tulare, the former largest lake west of Mississippi. Its drainage has cause the valley floor to sink rapidly, and is sending the southern valley into a dust bowl like situation, with topsoil has starting to blow away during summer months. We've lost our heat sink and water shed for the West Coast, all for a some tycoon to have the largest cotton plantation in the US.

What irks me off is there are historical answers to why our environment is tanking, but instead of returning key features of the land, we must assert more control of everyone's daily lives when it's 90% of the time a small amount of people who make long term disastrous decision to our ecosystem. Lastly, almost always these few  have been enabled by the same congress that wants to enact these environmental "safeguards".
