Looks like on average the data shows 42% agricultural. https://water.ca.gov/Programs/California-Water-Plan/Water-Po...

No, you are being misled by “environmental water,” which is a fancy way to say it’s water we don’t use because were not allowed to. This doesn’t make any sense, how can you include water you don’t use in your accounting for water use?

The reason this is there is to downplay the outsized use in agriculture, and also to shift some blame to folks that voted not to allow this water to be used in the first place.

But still, if you want to cut spending and are looking for where your money is spent, you don’t include money you choose not to earn in your list of spending.

Letting it flow through the rivers and delta to the ocean is half of it.
