California has been living off of the underground aquifers, which have been accruing for thousands of years, and now it's time to pay the bill for farming and massive population growth.

Right, I understand they're on aquifer water now. But it's clear there was a time period of a few decades at least after that city was a big spot for Hollywood films and actual living in, it being submerged in water and now being drained of water. It's like what people say about building cities in a dessert. Problem with that is it's modern times and desalinating, while slightly expensive relative to natural rainfall, is a cheap alternative to what they're losing. It's completely fabricated. Further, they drained more reservoir water from multiple smaller reservoirs than the total of Lake Mead over the last 1+ decades.
