Exporting Water to China?

It's a stretch, but the article makes the point we divert so much water to grow alfalfa for Chinese livestock that in effect the water goes to China.

It would be interesting to see an accounting of what water is used for now during the California draught, and if selling alfalfa in China makes our meals more expensive.  Sounds like a good masters thesis.

This law professor makes some interesting points, especially how the energy solutions use too much water.


Feel free to forward this by email to three of your friends.
