I remember reading an article that blew the lid on a major reason why California is having water shortages: farmers can make huge profits growing alfalfa in California and exporting it to China, alfalfa being a water-greedy crop. Basically it's a combination of America's two greatest foes: Communist China and Capitalist greed.
We have been terrible stewards of our planet from animals to plants to water we hold nothing sacred as a general rule.

Just think as our water supplies diminish the amount of pollution we put in them is going to become more and more concentrated.............
Good luck California............maybe now is a good time to start to bottle tap water and sell it to folks there, wait that's already being done essentially.
Combination of wind and solar power, as California has plenty of both wind and sun, could be used to partially power these plants.
Good news though, here in the Bay Area, temperature is dropping, wind is picking up and dark clouds are rolling in. Should have rain later tonight/early tomorrow morning.

Salt water can fix the problem. Only massive amounts of de sal plants but those would take years to build and the energy required would take more nuke plants and those will never happen.
Edit *cant fix the problem
