Based on BC’s traditional water mismanagement and the rapid loss of glacial water due to global warming, pretty soon parts of BC are going to be running an annual water deficit. And that’s before we even get into wildfires.
California should shift to plant-based agriculture, install bidets to reduce water needed to grow trees, install water leak detectors along water pipelines, grow produce intended for the climate and implement more rain water collection systems as there are many efficiencies that could be made without resorting the need of water from other jurisdictions
For a state that's completely bordered on one side by ocean, and has a decent amount of desert for solar you think we would be desalinating the s*** out of that ocean.
And revamp their antiquated water rights system.
