There  have been several droughts in the past which have required

reductions to which we've already installed drip systems  etc.>>>
 
I remember the old "If it's yellow let it mellow; if it's brown flush  it
down."
 
I've wondered for many years when California would just run out of
water, and the present severe drought has made that sooner rather  than
later.  I feel terrible about this.
 
Since WW-2 Americans have strapped their belongings on cartop in the
eastern 2/3rds of the country, and headed out to the "Golden West".   There 
is
the wonderful scenery and the generally benign weather, but the West
in general, and especially California, have always had some water 
deficit, and it would seem there is a finite population that can be 
accommodated there.
 
That finite population number may well have been reached.
