"Droughts are getting ever more frequent and the region isn't getting enough time between them to recover."

This doesn't seem to be true, it seems that CA has been a uncharacteristacally wet for the last 500 years or so. Before that the drought/wet swings were much wilder with much more severe droughts

As long as there hasn't been any significant changes in population or agriculture in the region in the last 500 years it's no big deal
