California Drought thread

SanguineEmpiricist

I think we need a discussion thread for the californian drought going on. I would like to compile information in the main post and would like help compiling it. If we really are proud to be effective altruists then this is an area we should really figure out.

Silicon Valley should build tech to reduce domestic water usage and make bathrooms and kitchens better.

I would rather a less valuable part of our economy do this.

Can you expand on this reasoning? Water use is a planet wide issue and is even more relevant for less developed areas. This seems like something that could have very high pay off.
