Check out this absolutely insane 40million splat scene of Coit Tower ... (great demo of sparkjs 2.0 handling massive scale)
Chatted with a water resource economist at an event in California yesterday.
The state’s water “shortage” really is one of the most unforced errors in policymaking.
Key stats:
- farmers use 80% of the developed water supply
- residents use 20%
- cities pay ~20x higher prices (!) for water than farmers (~$722/acre-foot vs ~$36/acre-foot)
- some of the biggest agricultural districts in the state pay literally $0 for their water
- meanwhile agriculture accounts for just ~2% of California’s economy
It’s crazy that politicians tell residents to take shorter showers or get rid of their lawns instead of just charging farmers the market price for their water usage.
