chosen.content: California's history of water resources has been greatly impacted by the current drought, as seen by the sharp decline in water levels in reservoirs and other water storage systems. Previous droughts in 1976-77 and 1987-92 have served as templates for how this current dry spell would affect the availability of water. In addition, efforts by the state, like water conservation campaigns and increased regulation of groundwater use, have been implemented in order to mitigate the drought's effect. Finally, some parts of the state have begun to look towards technological innovation, such as desalination plants and rainwater capture and storage, in an attempt to find a solution.

rejected.content: Water resources in California have always been a source of both prosperity and conflict. The Golden State's vast supply of abundant, reliable water has sustained a population that now numbers in the populous. In recent years, however, drought and poor resource management have highlighted the fragility of California's water system and exposed the state’s limited water infrastructure. The extreme dry spell currently ravaging the state has been referred to as the state’s most severe drought in recorded history, leading to strict regulations regarding water use and prompting an ongoing effort to modernize California’s water infrastructure.
