Driving through areas of California that would be naturally arid and almost desert-like, I am always shocked to see idiotic water-intensive practices like attempting to grow rice and almonds in arid areas that would never have supported such crops with the water normally available. You would think in the droughts we've been having, California would have figured out ways to capture water we do get rather than let it drain into the ocean. The antiquated "water rights" concept needs to be reset.
