You have to budget in the water for the almond fields as well.

You'd think the almond farmers would be the ones to do that.

As long as the price tag on water does not reflect its actual cost on environment and society, they couldn't care less.

Similar to carbon emissions and any other pollution. Once you put an accurate price tag on it, simultaneously avoiding the corruption that usually comes with certificates and that kind of thing, then you'll get somewhere.
