Timothy Brick, a chairman of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, summed up the situation in the Inland Empire's Press-Enterprise by saying: "In past planning, the worst-case scenario we looked at wasn't bad enough. This is the worst-case scenario."
And unless California taps into more water — or learns to go without plush lawns and dedicates more resources to super-efficient farming — the worst-case scenario will exceed expectations.
