So how does California deal with a drought?

Preferred Solution: Steal more from farther north or farther east. Seriously, very little of SoCal's water is indigenous (about 12%) to the area so while it is always dry, that doesn't necessarily impact their water supply. For Los Angeles water supply, drought in Northern California is a much bigger problem than drought in Southern California.

That said, I think most people who have lived in California long enough have gone through a "if it's yellow, let it mellow; if it's brown, flush it down" period (or at least they all talk like they have). I've been in the Bay Area about 10 years now and missed the last one here by just a couple years.

My first suggestion: let all the golf courses die a grisly death.
