At certain depths when the aquifers are depleted it will take as much as a hundred years to replenish them. This is not going to end well. Some of the great farming areas in India are in the same situation

the land will only support some many souls per square mile.

They have exceeded it.

California governor orders first ever water restrictions

The order implements a 25% reduction in water usage for cities and towns across the parched state. Vast areas of government-owned lawns will be replaced by drought-tolerant landscaping, and towns will be banned from watering ornamental grass.

Last year, Governor Jerry Brown proclaimed a state of emergency after years of drought.

The snow in the mountains is at its lowest level since records began, so water supplies from melting snow will be lower than normal in coming months. "We are standing on dried grass, and we should be standing in five feet of snow," said Mr Brown, speaking in the Sierra Nevada mountains. "People should realise we're in a new era. The idea of your nice little green grass getting lots of water every day - that's going to be a thing of the past," he said.

Perhaps allowing millions of illegals into your state and promoting policies that encouraged them to stay was a bad idea. Would things be better with a few million fewer people living in California?

Probably best to drive out the wealthy first, they use more water with their swimming pools and golf courses.
Hmmmmmm

"In an average year, about 80% of California's water consumption is used for agricultural purposes." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_in_California In terms of residential use, landscaping in wealthier areas accounts for 50% of the total residential water consumption. https://www.mercurynews.com/science...-drought-water-use-varies-widely-around-state
