The Wall Street Journal (July 14, 2014) — California is poised to institute mandatory statewide water restrictions for the first time, as the impact of a three-year drought continues to spread across the Golden State...While the restrictions focus on urban users, California's $44.7 billion-a-year agriculture industry has already been severely affected by the drought. Reduced water shipments to farmers will result in $800 million in revenue losses this year in the Central Valley and the loss of 14,500 jobs, according to estimates by the Center for Watershed Sciences at the University of California, Davis.
