    it's amazing they complain about not having water but I know it's major inconvenience but throughout the San Joaquin Valley they've gone from row crop vegetables to planting new crop almond Orchards on a daily basis for the last 8 years in California even knowing we have a water crisis

    In the Almond orchards can we make one foot deep x one foot wide trenches between the trees . Then during every rain thousands of litres of rain water will sink into the ground. This percolation of water whenever it rains may be sufficient to keep the soil moisture for the next few months. If banana tree chunks and coconut husk are kept around the trees, the moisture from the rain water may last for longer periods. It may be a great savings from irrigating with water from the canals . Canal water can be used when ever need arises . Allow the rain water to percolate through the shallow trenches criss crossing the orchard.

    Almond trees by far, use more water than any other crop. The only area that uses more water is cattle that graze on grass. So drinking almond milk is not much better than regular milk

      Almonds use up 1900 gallons of water per pound of almond per month year round and, there are roughly 400 miles of land given to almond farms.

      If we're talking health wise drinking real milk " regular " is so much better than almond milk.

    This is a gross misuse of resources. It's great to become more efficient with the use of water, but it's not okay to do all of this work to grow something that in fact is not necessary for society and only for personal profit. I'm sure there are better locations to grow almonds. It's okay to adapt your business and move onto something new.

    If we make 2. X. 6 feet trenches of 2 feet depths, can it hold rain water as well as irrigation water for longer periods and nourish the plants . Rain water will not run away but all the water will percolate into the earth.

    How can we cover the area with something than can keep the water and moisture for a long period so that every drop of water we pour over the land can remain there for the sustained growth of the almond trees . Now the whole area looks barron. Soil is dry . How to cover the soil with some absorbent substances that can nurture the trees . Can coco peat or saw dust or sugarcane straw or wheat and paddy straw help . Once they absorb water, they retain it for a long period
    The thicker the layer , longer the moisture dispersal . Banana tree trunks contains so much water . Will that help .

    We got through the drought without government help. Now, they are going to regulate the ground water, even though the drought is over. So the threat now isn't from the sky, but from Sacramento.

      California still has very limited water, whether it's considered a drought season or not.

    *Root Girdled trees are drought stressed, even without conditions of Drought!* Felled trees from shuddered orchard revealed evidence that accepted planting methods may be one cause of drought stress to entire crop. Evidenced by root systems wrapping around trees main stem like a Tourniquet. Just above obstruction, trunk resembles fat man wearing a tight belt. Where Starches and sugars not getting down to root system get backed up.
