California possesses sufficient water resources to meet the needs of its population and agriculture, if only it could muster the political will and financial backing to optimize usage.
With approximately 50% of California's water allocated to environmental needs, and 40% to agriculture, focusing on these sectors could unlock additional water resources for urban use.
Drought cycles are a longstanding issue in California, exacerbated by climate change, making water conservation efforts even more critical now than in the past.
Although the Colorado River supports seven western states, the urgency for conservation varies significantly among them depending on local drought conditions and access to resources.
