I have been making the trip across the state from the SF Bay Area to the foothills once a week for the last 3 weeks. There is still a lot of water flowing in the valley. Most of the tree crops have senior water rights. There is a lot of cotton and corn planted and alfalfa. I don't get down to the west side. I think that is where most of the problems are. They do not have very solid rights down there. I wish they could cut off the water they pump over the hill to Los Angeles, they are still watering lawns and golf courses down there with our water. Not too many lawns in the Bay Area, most people have landscaped with native plants. I came through Modesto a couple of times, lots of water there, the San Joaquin still has water in it.
