Californians May Face 'Unprecedented' Full Watering Ban Due To Drought Crisis

1. Being a long time

California resident. It is beyond me why this hasn't been in place for decades.
I am extremely lucky. I have a 48 foot hand dug well in my basement that has only gone dry 1x in some 30 odd years. Family has some 700 acres of gold country range land with 8 or 10 mine shafts full of water. 3 springs, grandfathered miners inch rights (you would have to know to know...) etc. You cant drink most of the water. but you could feed a few thousand people from it. there are 5 deep wells with freaking beautiful drinking water as well.
we still don't water lawns. "victory gardens" yes. defensible space, yes. bloody great storage tanks for fire suppression yes. But lawns, car washing, laundry without a full load, showering everyday only allowed if you've been working hard and legitimately stinky.
For those who don't know. Water is the future. Nothing else matters in the end.
Find water. If not for you. For your grandchildren. Now or never...
Rant over. TY and apologies.
