Water supply

Coalition response..."Reality-based water pricing" might work well in those
situations where there is the option of passing along the higher costs to the
ultimate consumer, such as in our cities. Residents have little choice but to
pay the higher costs. But agriculture presents a different situation. Farmers
cannot pass reality-based water costs along to consumers, who ultimately
benefit from water used to grow crops. California farmers are already paying
the costs to obtain water to grow a food supply that we all have come to rely
upon. Increasing water costs to farmers according to a reality-based formula
can only mean farmers going out of business and losing their farms while
consumers face the potential of a reduced food supply and increased costs. It
doesn't make sense.
