This article talks about Stewart Resnick, a huge farmer from here in California. He owns lots of land growing pomegranates, pistachios, and mandarins. Even when California has droughts, Resnick still uses water, but from underground or rivers to keep his farm running. He also helped get water projects built to bring more water to his land.

Pros:

Provides steady job opportunities with benefits, which is a source for farmworkers who have limited job opportunities elsewhere.

Cons:

Hurting the environment by too much use of water and constant change of nature.

Controlling water in California is an example of federalism because both the state and federal governments share the power over water. The FD runs dams and rivers while the state controls the water rights. This can cause a war over water (Water Wars), in which the groups fight over who gets the water.
