Lmao California has the most extensive network of water works in the entire nation by a massive margin. Go read some books...

I can’t tell if you read the article. The current drought, more so the larger environmental changes, are exceeded their reservoir system.
The reservoir system also just has a ton of bleed (https://tahoe.ucdavis.edu/sites/g/files/dgvnsk4286/files/inline-files/03-abouttahoe.pdf). I know Tahoe supplies Nevada, not California, but the evaporation rates are kind of crazy. More efficient water usage just makes sense…?

In 2014 we approved a 7.5 BILLION bond to build reservoirs in Cal. Maybe someone can tell me how many have been built since then
