I just don't understand what gain the government would have from stopping people in Cali getting water.
Surely destroying a large economy is not beneficial for government coffers.
Drinking expensive bottled water will be how you show someone how rich you are in the near future.

I don't claim that it is a conspiracy, but if it were they wouldn't be destroying or losing economy, they would be doing this for a greater gain in a different area. Just how one chess piece is sacrificed for another thats more valuable. It's kinda like what they do with diamonds, the whole world thinks diamonds are some extremely rare item when in reality they are common and so the people that own the diamonds created an artificial rarity and caused them to be very expensive by withholding their supply of them. If people thought water was hard to come by and was a rare thing, it's value would raise
I have proof of the city of La Verne draining millions of gallons of freshwater from Live Oak reservoir directly into the ocean 2 years ago.

It's already getting to be that way...back in VA, "artisan" water (no, not Artesian) was what all the cool, wealthy kids drank...at about $4.75 a 16oz bottle, more in certain "touristy" areas. I've been back in San Antonio for a week and it's like that here too...Voss is the uppity water of choice; although I have to admit, it's amazing tasting water and...I remember drinking both fresh rain water and water from a deep well in the Middle Eastern desert as a child and had never met their match until I sucked down that cold, $5.00 bottle of deliciousness the other day. It just oozes "swank" with the packaging too...but that price? Dayum!
It's all groovy though, because it's totally worth the scathing looks from ye olde soccer moms to know that I, with my $5.00 case of 20oz. bottles of generic, mineral-enhanced water will be getting 24 times more hydrated than those biatches will for the same price. Two words, my friends; "win" and "ning"
To the OP: I care very much what happens in Cali because it'll affect the entire West Coast as well, and I have many friends and relatives along that path whom I'd like to see avoid any harm. I spent many years of my life there too, and would be sad to see something bad befall such a beautiful place. As far as the possibility of the weather being manipulated? I'd say it is far more accurate to call it a probability. But it ain't just happening in Califas, I can assure you of that.
I like Crystal Geyser Water out of the Owens Valley in California. It cost a dollar a gallon most places in the western US.
I cook with it and the leftovers last for months.

Hmmm...is formaldehyde one of the ingredients? I think I'll avoid that brand just to be safe
Formaldehyde costs extra, $5 a shot and a few hours in brain tissue to create it. I get the sans Fluorine, I think. The only other choice is city filtered water, which might be great, but Fluorine is very hard to remove, because F is the smallest atom, except for hydrogen.
What is the criterion for Formaldehyde in bottled water? I've heard of Bisphenol Estrogen from the plastic.
Tap water leftovers rarely last more than a week. 3 days usually, and the bolted water cooking tastes better too.
