Suffering in its third year of drought, more than 58 percent of the state is currently in "exceptional drought" stage [...] Exceptional drought, the most extreme category, indicates widespread crop and pasture losses and shortages of water in reservoirs, streams and wells [...] If the state continues on this path, there may have to be thoughts about moving people out, said Lynn Wilson, academic chair at Kaplan University and who serves on the climate change delegation in the United Nations. — CNBC

Having just been out there, I can say it's kind of depressing and a bit unsettling. One way to deal this (possible) catastrpohe is to ban more suburban sprawl that tends to soak up not just water, but energy in general.
