California's Water Problem

I watched this video and got angry! I live in the central valley. My family were original farmers starting back in the 1800"s. California's water problem started 130 years ago! Any geologist will tell you what I am writing is true. California's water problems begin 130 years ago. There were 3 main rivers that fed a huge lake in California. It was named the Tule Lake. Bet you never heard of it? This lake was the largest body of water in the United States west of the Mississippi! Yes, bigger than Tahoe. Commerce flowed from one end of the valley to the other end on barges not by trucks. You could take a ferry from Bakersfield to San Francisco! In fact many of the small towns along interstate 5 are named after ferry landings. But our far sighted politicians decided to damn these rivers for ag and to control flooding. As these rivers were dammed and the rivers did not feed Tule Lake it slowly dried up along with the central valley's water table slowly dropping. Back in the 50's the water table was 30-50 feet at my home. Now it is 230-280 feet! Towards the west side of the valley they are drilling 1500 foot wells. The San Joaquin valley itself is sinking because of the valley aquifer being drained since the lake dried up. Nothing is replacing it at the rate we are draining it. 
Now what about the canals? They were not built for central valley farming where the breadbasket of agriculture really is in California. What they are for is the wealthy farmers and corporations that bought up VERY CHEAP UNFARMABLE LAND on the west side of the valley. They got it cheap because no one could farm it or wanted it. Once they got it all they needed was water. They then poured millions of dollars into their favorite politicians coffers to get that water. Thus the canals. Their need for water and LA's need for water created the canals. Politicians found a money boat for their coffers! The canals are just a welfare project for west side corporate farmers along with LA because they have the coffers to buy politicians! 
If anyone tells you California needs the canals for these westside corporation farmers and for California's food supply ask them this? Why do central California farmers set records year after year without the westside? Why do you divert river water to canals when the central valley farmers water table keeps going down? Why are you planting almonds now instead of crops that really feed us? Sure if you give them more water they will grow grains and other crops but so can central valley farmers with more water. 
And one more thing. They cry that river water is being dumped into the ocean? Lol, where else did god intend it to go? Down their canals? No, that water is a source for our pacific coast fisheries and to keep the delta water from back flowing with salt water. 
There is only one solution that will work but I doubt it will ever be done. That lake must come back to life. Forget the canals we DO NOT NEED THEM! Some of the river waters must flow back into what was Tule Lake. It would take decades for sure, maybe a 100 years, to raise our water table here but it would be the best thing to do. 
Then the westside farmers will be floating in all the water they want!
