How about California stops letting coca cola bottle all our water at an incredibly low cost.

They rather have all politicians in jail before they do something against big corporations
Coca Cola is America. Do you hate America, commie?

Yes. So true...
You do realize while califor ianis expierencing drought states like texas are expierence severe flooding right. This is climate change not land management

While Nestle’s sucking up billions of gallons may not want to “wonder why” there’s no water. And might want to stop cutting down rainforests…if you want rain. Just a suggestion.
All that water was going to drinking instead of watering gov't and rich people's lawns. I think I would prefer it going to Nestle. Californian gov't lives in a fantasy land and doesn't seem to have the ability to understand that we are running out of water very fast.
There are cyclical droughts. Remember the dust bowl days across
the Great Plains? You want millions and millions of immigrants?

Well nestles CEO called the idea of water being a human right extreme.

Boycott Nestle and its brands!
"Nestlé has maintained that its rights to California spring water date back to 1865. But a 2017 investigation found that Nestlé was taking far more than its share. Last year (2020) the company drew out about 58m gallons, far surpassing the 2.3m gallons a year it could validly claim, according to the report." Source:

Thank you farmers! We'd be lost without you! God bless you and your families!
The almond farmers are some of the main culprits in this
the worse part is they will charge us more for water while exporting our water to the desert/socal. even when we saved water we were told we saved so much they lost money and raised prices! what incentive could we have to save water now!?
The reason water goes to southern California, I'd because that's where the population is.

Those courses use reclaimed water.
@@billcoyne7717 Cali has renamed it "recycled" and it's put back into the water system. By law, any water that can be reused is recycled. Golf courses and farms and drinking--all that has recycled water in it now.

Still no official notice to stop watering grass! I don't get it!
and ban pools - got an ocean
First stop watering the vineyards. Then we can look at grass. No benefit from vineyards other than get drunk. Lawns help homes use less energy during summer, help with air quality, help bees, help birds, insects, plus kids and dogs love a little grass to run and play on.
Not a surprising thing; durring the fuel "shortage in the 70s? we still had NAS car races and so forth. If it had been a real emergancy, as was done durring WWII daya rationing would have been implemented. There are solutions. If the powers that be would stop being sooo fn Greedy we all would benifit!
How could people live a normal life without a lawn to mow and water? That would upend civil society!!
@@cavemancaveman9746 What? Bees would benefit from planting wild flowers in the yard. Instead of grass seed. And kids haven't played outside since the 80's.
Consider this, there are about 120 irrigated golf courses in the Palm Springs area.
Hey - don't knock the golf courses - the richies need them to talk about their bribery deals where they won't be overheard . . .
And over 1,200 new California vineyards planted in the past 20 years. Ban vineyards!! What is their purpose? Get people drunk? Water over wine!!!!!
Water independence for SoCal. They need to be weaned off. They are a burden on too many watersheds.
Outlaw watering golf courses? That would be drastic!!
Someone should write with weed killer on a golf course. " Paint your ball green and let the grass go brown."
If you study history, the western states have always been in a perpetual drought; this has been going on for hundreds of years maybe longer.
That is true, it is more likely to happen on the west states anywhere else. It just sucks that people think they will get more info out of a 5-minute news report than looking up some basic history.
@@Devyn_LV right that doesn’t mean you move millions of people into the desert and use up what resources it does have.
You are all correct. I can't believe that people and businesses have been allowed to use water at the rates they have. The salt lake beds and death valley were a under water at one point.
The reservoirs enabled people to live their idiotic, wasteful, careless lifestyles in the desert. With 40 million+ people now in California, even the reservoirs are drying up. So, what's next? They should pipe all of Lake Tahoe's freshwater to the people and farms of California. They need it worse than do the tourists and rich people.
Dust bowl told us something way before these wild global warming nuts did.

The problem is global warming.
@@daydreamer8373
And climate change is caused by what?
@@at6686 Increasing CO2.
@@daydreamer8373
Dude. Are you trying to be difficult or do you really not get it? Science says climate change is caused by HUMAN produced co2. That means number of humans x lifestyle = co2. More people = more co2. That’s why co2 production has tracked perfectly the increase in human numbers as it has exploded over the last century. Try this thought experiment. Suppose 1/2 the people on earth decided to leave. What would happen to the co2 humanity produced? Population numbers really count.
@@at6686 Yes population counts, but what they do is what matters. Burning fossil fuels, destroying ecosystems, polluting the seas, all has a massive effect on CO'2.
If humans simply lived, there would be no issue. We don't simply live, we consume, more and more, without thought for the negative impacts.
We simply have to think more about the affects our lifestyles have on all aspects of the global eco system, which affects everyone and everything.
California:
"We need to rise up stand together... and blame others."
Yeah that might work but it still doesn't solve the problem.
There has always been the narrative that its up to the people to recycle, and to conserve water. This is a misdirection. It is mostly up to corporations, and governments. I am not saying that people don't need to get on board with some environmental conscienceness, but it is the smallest piece of the puzzle
Actually, no it is not. Nestle water is used for drinking, and that is a good thing. The state of Cali allows watering lawns, washing down sidewalks and cars, using as much water as you want to keep your lawns pretty. California caters to the rich, and they like beautiful estates. No, it is a people problem and the state is too cowardly to restrict water due to a fear of losing the rich.
@@roseroses7576 No, it not to what. Residential water uses about 15%, the rest is agri and industry etc
@@dustinhaus1165 Do you really want famine? Which will be the result in an overpopulated country like the US when it loses 1/2 it's food for 300 million people. It would be in the country's best interest to evacuate the big cities in Cali and let agriculture have the water.
@@roseroses7576 Why would you think I want a famine? Why do you feel the US is over populated? The people, and the industries will have no choice but to scale to the amount of available water. Industries will leave before residents. They have a higher demand, a need to move the profits forward, and are not as stubborn as people. That is unless we find new ways of getting water there
@@dustinhaus1165 Why do I think the US is overpopulated? Because there are more people here than the country can support in bad times. That is the definition of overpopulation. We are losing half our fresh foods and the people most hurt will be the middle class and the lower classes. When you support destroying our farms, you support famine. The only way to feed the over 300 million people dependent upon farms and ranches is to farm in the desert. It produces three or four times the food that the eastern and middle America can produce.
How about California actually upgrade and update their water infrastructure? The last real water project was in 1973.
And how will that help with the fact that there’s no rain. And most of the west got 30-40% of normal snowpack.
That would require california not having idiots in office and thats all we seem to get idiots in office running the state

Most have more than one home out of state to they could probably go to til this resolves itself
Well there's an upside. If things get bad enough, I might be able to afford a house in California!
We need to take care of the environment not the people worsening these issues
We pay the government in taxes to do that yet the government doesn't do anything
Well there is the infrastructure plan
@@boneappleteeth3127 Uh, what do you think would happen if the government ploughed all those McMansions into the ground, restored natural habitats, put in building codes that prevented any house from having more than 3 bathrooms, no more private pools or golf courses or other water wasting activities, restricted immigration completely, and outlawed any landscaping that wasn't native plants to the region? People are getting what they deserve and even demanded. Just like people build houses on the beach and taxpayers get to pay for the rebuild, year after year.

There’s plenty of water for Californians if it weren’t for Agriculture. Large percentage of the produces ended up going outside of the California, essentially California is doing farming for the other states.
To make matters worse in that regard, mega farmlands better suited for food crops and in better suited areas of USA find politics in the way of competition with California.

“We have to do something”. But it’s not a we problem because not everyone can afford an electric car or the necessary things to help. It’s up to governments to do something.

It's way to late for all of that: #planetaryhospice #humanhabitloss #theuninhabitalearth #managedretreat
It’s already too late we have produced so much CO2 emissions into the atmosphere from burning coal or other fossil fuels and we as humans should have made the transition to renewable energy a decade or two ago so we would have made a impact. We just have to make that giant leap into renewable energy but we’ll lose more jobs and probably the slow transition that we are in can be effective but it is what it is and we just have to adapt and get used to dry/hotter climate and colder winters and more storms.

While the people who actually care are surrounded by China made goods and supporting the biggest contributor to climate change by far. But hey let's keep outsourcing manufacturing jobs to China, who don't give a crap about regulations, to lower America's carbon footprint even though it creates a bigger carbon foot print in the long run.

California sitting on the coast of a ocean.... about time to use that infrastructure $$$$$ and build a desalination plant in CA...it is inevitable ....in fact the US will have to build a lot of them
To be effective, desalination plants would need to be nuclear powered, and the public is afraid of nuclear power.

Scare tactics from activists combined with amazingly woke residents. Desalination along with distillation would end the problem today but as you notice, no one even mentions the obvious solution. People here are literally insane, we have the answer to the problem lying along our coast for 800 miles and no one does a thing.
Lol. California has been wasting water for decades. In 1974, when I graduated high school in Los Angeles, they were dumping waste water into the ocean. I traveled the world for 2 years and when I returned I never went to the beaches in Los Angeles again. The ocean of Los Angeles is disgusting.
I mean the ocean is so vast and theres fish poop but the waste gets dispersed every were and eventually disipates

Meanwhile in NYC people are opening fire hydrants on hot days with water spraying everywhere for days at a time as though water is endless. Seems like this is one resource we should be able to share with less barriers and financial concerns before the residual effects of this drought impact the entire country's food supply.
One reason for the opening of hydrants is to flush out the minerals and sediments that accumulate in the system. Our city has planned and scheduled "hydrant parties" for kids in the summer. They open a particular hydrant for one hour to flush the system but instead of wasting the water, the Fire department hooks up special sprinklers so that kids can take advantage of the process and cool off. I think it is ingenious and our city has scheduled these roaming events for over 20 years.
@@NoMoreTears64 I think you're talking about something different. In the 30 years I've lived here I've seen way more residents opening hydrants than city workers or firefighters, and they leave them open for a full day or multiple days not an hour or a couple hours.
Too many South Americans flooding in illegally. You got what you bargained for. The carrying capacity of your natural resources has been exceeded.
Yeah, it definitely isn't LA stealing water from the rest of CA to bottle it and send it all over the world. Or the massive almond farms that take a gallon of water per almond and could probably bring these reservoirs to normal levels if that water was conserved instead of used on a luxury crop.

Why can’t they use desalination to fill it up before the ocean floods the coast.
Because the environmental people own California the California politicians are afraid of them

These droughts WILL NOT END. This IS the new normal. And if states like Arizona, Nevada and California don’t take drastic steps to ensure the lives of the people that call their states home- the American southwest will be a wasteland. We need to allocate money to run pipelines to the coast in San Diego and install massive desal plants there, and pump the brine into the salton sea on its way to lake mead. This country is crisscrossed with oil infrastructure. We can do the same with water with almost none of the risk.
Next to the ocean yet we can not build desalination plants
Nope. Bad Idea. Desalination uses a lot of power and California is already forecasting power shortages.
They have known about this for 20 years and have done absolutely nothing. So glad i left.

@@dwstrat1377 but to save $1.50 a gallon or more, it's best to not buy gasoline there, California gas is unaffordable to people who are not accustomed to being ripped off. Gas in California cost twice as much.
Stop sending fresh water into the ocean. 2 years ago these reservoirs were full. Where did the water go?
It's the water used by 29 million people plus businesses and farming and evaporation. Part of the problem is that the Colorado River is really sick right now. All the states bordering the Colorado has to get most of their water from the river and it's sucking it dry. That is where the reservoirs gets much of their water. I sometimes drive by and see sand bars in the middle of the river. It's getting very low and very weak.
I agree. Year 2 of this drought and our water levels in NorCal reservoirs are lower than they were year 4 of the last drought. They were releasing 13,500 CFS into the delta just back in March. Salt intrusion only requires 3,300 CFS. I guess the other 10,000 CFS were for the extinct smelt and to flush the sewage out of SF Bay. Such a waste. But hey Pyramid Lake in Los Angeles is currently 92% full. And Hetch Hetchy is 89% full.
Newsflash we’re all fucked we don’t have the capability or the motivation or political will to tackle this subject and take it on in a manner that he fully deserves this will be the end of our species where is that currently exists
Of course our reservoirs are lower than normal. How much water are we using to give to illegal immigrants? And why are we building and spending billions of dollars on a hi-speed rail from L A to San Francisco instead of new reservoirs to capture more rain water from Northern California and sending it all over the state.
YOU'RE RIGHT !!!! THEM ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ARE USING ALL OUR WATER !!!!
Stop watering golf courses
Stop developing in the deserts of SoCal. SoCal is a burden on many watersheds. It is selfish and greedy to continue to build in a desert when you have no water supply of your own. Stop taking from water from everywhere else. Become water independent. Build some reservoirs and desalinate. Whatever it takes. Until you do, stop building!!!
Californians pay enough in Taxes they should build more facilities that turns ocean water into fresh water.
" I dont think science knows" and this guy was our president 😂😂🤣🤣😂😂
What's worst is his base believes him
I don't think the left understand science. They're pretty stupid.
@@roseroses7576 Oh rose - not you again
@@imoldgreggboosh3467 Hate to burst your bubble but you've never communicated with me. LOL.
I wish my state would have kept up vegetation management. I wish they stopped building and expanding when they knew the water wasn't enough for the population. The US hasn't lived within it's means for many years and we still bring in millions of new people when we don't have the resources to support the people we already have.
Capitalism needs an ever expanding market - you don't get rich rich richer without your corp. selling more more more. Need them new people to buy buy buy . . .
@@imoldgreggboosh3467 Well, California is dedicated to the well being of the rich and powerful. It is the poor and middle class who are being burned up in the wildfires. Cali got into trouble a couple of years ago when a firefighter went to the media about the governor making them take a stand at the most expensive homes and allow the lower price homes to burn.
We are going to have to change the orbits of the earth and moon and control the solar flares, Gohmert can fill you in.
Big brain move right there.
Yep. What an idiot he is.
How are we going to do that exactly, just by doing it? Man you really are this way, pendejo.
If we all fart together in the same direction, we can do it.
I don't understand why California won't start a program to help people capture rain water. Companies that use a lot of water should be required to capture rain water. It is time to start changing how we use our resources. PERIOD.
Also rising sea levels from melting ice caps. Maybe work on more desalination plants along the coast, they can supplement the supply and ease the burden.
Exactly. We pump oil all over but don’t want to pump life giving water all over...hmmm
It takes a lot of energy for desalination
@@LuckyNikitaBoba yes but the price of that’s been going down with solar plants even being curtailed as in years ago, I know first hand.
@@gordybishop2375 Why don't you show us the math on how much it will cost and the energy it will take to supplement CA water for farming, etc. Prove it.
Huh..you one of those guys that thinks there is only on possible solution to an issue, etc. it can be part of the solution. It is o.k....I won’t ask you do un prove it here in a RUclips comment ps section.
I thought Americans were smart. Build a desalination plant and use abundant solar energy to power and desalinate the sea water then send it into farms. It may cost billions but will pay ten folds in near future, cause drought will be a regular occurrence in California.
We are its our greedy state leaders who haven't jumped on that idea they rather find newer ways to tax us
Just stop drinking the water, don't shower 2 times a day. Shower with a friend.
I'll shower with everyone's moms
@@dirtygirl2808 don't want to shower with his mom, she's gross.
@Pack Action yeah that's going too far eewww
Thank you Gavin Newsom for continuing your push for building residences but not building infrastructure to support it.
Eh thats one part of the issue the other part the last few govnors never seem to want to build up our water infrastructure . But newsom is apart of our problem can't wait til hes recalled
Time to use ocean water
True
Your entire western border is the largest ocean on Earth... but you're running out of water. Desalination isn't hard or expensive.
Chances are that corporate interests are holding humanity back (again).
Just like the ten plagues in Egypt.
SO WHAT R U GOING TO DO ABOUT IT??? Stop saying the situation is fucking dire and then the government does NOTHING to ensure we conserve!!! Drives me nuts
It was 107 today in Vegas. I don't remember June being this hot since moving here in 1992. We are still in SPRING.

The problem is we talk and do nothing.
I wonder if more investments in waste water management and desalination in California would help any.
I live in Appalachia. I’ve watched government get into bed with industry for most of my life, as the mining industry ruined land and water. Now, that industry is dead and our land and water is slowly healing itself.
We don’t suffer droughts here (thank God), but I can empathize with the people in the west who do; and whose droughts are worsened by industries that have no concern for what they’re doing to the land, water, and people.
Your government doesn’t care. Our federal government doesn’t care.
There are no easy answers. The only thing you can do is try to make them care somehow.
Good luck, Californians and Arizonans. God bless all of you.
Come on engineering teams-
Come up with a solution.
Let’s focus $$ on this issue as opposed to landing on Mars and getting people million dollar flights into space.
Your government, well it needs to conduct 2 more 6 month long studies to determine what course of action to follow. They have to go to court and see if the constitution will allow them to do anything and then they have to do another study on how to acquire the funds to finance the project primarily their bonuses and concerns for upcoming elections. Otherwise they will do nothing except blame each other. In other words don't expect very much from them.
@Joseph Gutierrez global warming BS this states a desert mostly we dont get rain like other states never had. Our rivers are mostly bone dry this time of year anyway. This states goes through periods of rain snow and drought its a constant cycle
@Joseph Gutierrez no its not in 2013 it was worse. Do some research before you spout off nonsense
A few years ago we had so much water they releasing water..
Lmfao yet everyone’s like “least we don’t have to worry about tornados” I’d take a tornado over no water any day.
I'd rather keep my home the way it is then having to remodel it quite often let alone walk out one day to my flipped car all bashed up you keep your tornadoes 🌪🙂

Sure hope those refugees are bringing water with them
Renewable powered desalination...like yesterday
Nope. Bad Idea. Desalination uses a lot of power and California is already forecasting power shortages.
@@kansasthunderman1 yeah but also forecasting water shortages....we can live without power....if needed. We have not had power outages in very long time due to lack of power. PGE was doing it to prevent fires
Power outages also are just a few hours if truly needed and RO is easily shut down and restarted if need be.
Don’t think the concept is as mundane as you seem to think. It is a huge problem
@@kansasthunderman1 As if continuing to develop SoCal isn't a bad idea?? They live in a desert without a water supply of their own and they keep building. You were saying what about bad idea?
Not to mention the hydroelectric power loss. Water and power shortage in cali who would have thunk?
Next time don't destroy the forest
there's a next time?
To many people trying to live in a desert. What should anyone expect.
2:55 trump will never suffer the consequences of his inactions.
First, the music in this video was beyond unnecessary.
Second, this is going to affect everything. Higher tap water prices, manufacturing that needs water, hydro power, fires, the ecosystem, and California farms feed the whole country so food prices will rise as well.
This is bad.
Wow… trumps response to people telling him the problem at hand “it will get cooler…” and “science doesn’t know”
California water policy is to pray for rain. Brilliant.
"It'll get cooler. You just watch."
He's such a prick.

Duly noted.
It takes 800 gallons of water to make a gallon of wine. I don't hear any wine-sipping environmentalist bitching about that.
I live above folsom lake and every weekend they open the dams so the rafters have good rapids. Maybe stop dumping water for stupid reasons. And maybe folsom lake should use it's new spillway and let the lake fill up instead of keeping it at 50% all winter with the hope the snow melt will get it to capacity by summer. And maybe build some new resovores the last one was built in the 1970s and our population has trippled since then. Put the money where it is needed and that's not a train to nowhere.
you can't keep putting millions of people into the system and not upgrade the water situation. battery everything is fine but it will not solve the water problem.

Smaller populations and their rivers are bigger than the Colorado which is a very sick river now.
