How will this affect agriculture? Will this have an impact on people as in will people and are people losing their lives over this? Is this a temporary thing? Hoover Dam is expected to run out of water soon meaning LA will be out of electricity (not entirely but it will reach the point where there won't be enough to run the turbines needed for generating electricity)

So is this kinda the end for America or are there solutions to this? Water is water and that shit is important not just for our bodies but for producing energy and preventing and stopping fires.

    I might be misremembering this, but certain underground reservoirs require pressure not to collapse, so if you pump too much out of them they close and can't refill naturally again.
