As a state, California has responded to the drought through several short term crisis management strategies. The first of these being pumping of groundwater, although an effective solution in the short term (offsetting almost 70% of the water shortage and reducing crop fallow and job losses), these reserves will become ever more expensive to extract and will eventually run out. Under irrigating land, idling of land and shifting of crops go together as strategies that will save the proprietor water

The general problem is that Southern California is lacking
state of California, which is fifth in the world for the production of agriculture. In a state with numerous climate regions and various different landscape and soil profiles it is astonishing to be able to grow over 400 different commodities. This is only possible with the unique design of the irrigation systems that provide eighty percent of the total amount of water used by agriculture producers in the state. Although, farmers and rancher only use forty percent of water in California. Since California
Greenhouse Gas Reduction The California High Speed Rail Authority Claims about the systems environmental benefits are greatly overstated. As per Due Diligence Report, California HSR will cause very little reduction of the greenhouse gas emissions (CO2). The California Air Resources Board forecasts that the HSR would reduce CO2 emissions equal to only 1.5% of the current state objective. On the other hand the California High Speed Rail Authority has made an exaggerated claim of achieving “almost 50%”
