For example, he still thinks California is "hoarding water" up in the north

If Hetch Hetchy reservoir hadn't been built (100 years ago), which flooded a pristine valley in Yosemite National Park in the High Sierra, your Bay Area water taps would be running dry. You got lucky. And BTW, there's no way in hell that permission to build that dam would be given today.

en.wikipedia.org

A number of dams on the Klamath River in northern CA are being removed in order to "hopefully" restore salmon runs to placate the local Indian tribes. Of course this also gives the finger to irrigation, power gen and recreation sources for other locals and visitors.

As long as millions of people want to live in desert and semi arid regions (LA, LV, Phoenix, etc) in this country, water needs will be an issue. If part of SoCal's water shortage "solution" means adios to the SF Bay Area delta smelt (Trump's bait fish), then politics will be the determining factor. Maybe your local pizza restaurants could use them in lieu of anchovies..
