I remember a few years back. My cousin who lives in Fresno was talking about water and water rights up there. He said for the most part, everyone conserved, since water in that area was based on wells. So you didn't want to deplete your well.
But he said there were a few people that had huge lots of land, that had lush green grass. People were commenting on how much water they must have been pulling from their wells. And it was a matter of when that well ran dry. This was before the drought.
So while I'm sure 75% of those in the agricultural sector are probably very water conscious. But just like in the LA area. You have that small % that says F it, if I want to use water, I will use water for whatever purpose. Those are the one's that are screwing everyone else.
You have areas like Riverside that do not use any outside water that do their part. Then you have people in the Cochella Valley that use 5-10x more water than most other communities in the LA Area, or PIstascio farms (you have all seen it on the way to Vegas) that is built in the middle of the desert.
