If instead someone buys a little plop of land(actually the water rights below that little plop of land) right next to his, installs a giant water pump, they could legally suck out all his water. I am guessing he will eventually find a buyer, but perhaps not at the prices he was originally asking.


The answer is your say f*** capitalist pigs like him, confiscate his wells and put him in prison for owning something he never had a right to own. Water belongs to the people! Che Guevara!!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

LA is built on a desert. A water shortages increase, the Fed. Gov. will do what they think is necessary to keep the masses from going dry. Eventually TSWHTF.

LA is built on a coastal/arid grassland region, at least for the most part. Most water is used for agriculture, not people. Odds are if CA starts seeing long lasting chronic water shortages, agriculture will change to stuff that's less water intensive, and what's not will end up migrating north.
