CASE STUDY CONNECTION California’s governor has put you in charge of water policy for the state. Aquifers beneath the state have been overpumped, and many wells have run dry. Agricultural production in the state is down, and farmers are clamoring for you to do something. Meanwhile, more water is needed for burgeoning urban populations in cities such as Los Angeles and San Francisco. What policies would you consider to restore California’s water supply? Would you try to take steps to increase supply, decrease demand, or both? Explain why you would choose such policies.
