As such we need a new word—and a new attitude—to deal with this region’s new reality: water shortage is the new normal and it’s time to adjust accordingly.

Solutions could include building a canal to carry water around the ecologically fragile Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and mandates that Californians reduce water consumption.
