The History of California Water Wars

These are documentaries about water use in the southern California area. The problems with the drought are nothing new. It is a repeat of history. I have watched these news programs where politicians and experts say no one could have seen the drought or the problems associated with it coming. These people are either liars, don't know what they are talking about, or are attempting to placate the masses and business.
The Water Wars in Southern California have been happening off and on for about a hundred years, give or take. The fight between Cities, agriculture, and small communities is nothing new. More corporations, especially bottle water corporations have now joined the fray. What is new is less snow-pack and lakes to exploit. It is becoming increasingly more difficult to find a quick solution that doesn't take the affect on future generation into account anymore. Even though that seems to be the answer most still give.
