That works

Hey we are not going to give us our water allotment, so we will overpump the aquafir cause the canal to fail which will cause water to flow onto the ground, this will recharge the aquafir and cut off the flow to Southern California in one swoop. It sounds like those Fresno county farmers are pretty smart

Southern California should be doing more to supply more of their own water, either from desalination plants or grey water usage for non-drinking purposes. SoCal has been taking ridiculous amounts of water that could be used in the central and northern areas of the state so that the aquifers would not HAVE to be pumped so much.
SoCal keeps growing and growing and taking and using more and more water. Maybe a solution is to send them grey water that they will be forced to use for landscaping purposes where they are now using potable water.
