The State of California took an unprecedented move today by uniformly restricting water supplies across the entire state [independent.co.uk]. Farms will be most affected, although food prices aren't anticipated to rise in any hurry: imports from out of state continue apace. It's notable that this is a problem Silicon Valley hasn't been helping to solve [theguardian.com].

Will this move force some much-needed modernization upon the infrastructure supporting the state's 38 million residents? Or will things continue to be corn, corn, corn [seecalifornia.com] for the time being?
