Is governor Jerry Brown really doing the right thing? From reading several articles it seems like the farmers are really on the downside of this water usage cut. Last year, they only received 5% of the water they would normally receive. Maybe this cut will benefit everyone, but at the same time, it doesn't! It kind of makes no sense...you're cutting your water usage...to get more water. I don't get it. However, I do feel that people should not abuse their water rights. But is this really the right way to do it?

This nearly dry Almaden Reservoir doesn't look like it had been full of water. Looking at this picture really shows you the full, drastic effects of this drought. It seems endlessly brutal. Will it ever end?
