California facing 20-year dought:  Cartoonist sees many changes, but speculates that Southern Californians will still find ways to have green lawns.

I used to fly into Burbank frequently.

On the last bit of the leg from Phoenix, the air lane follows the aqueduct that California used to steal water from the Colorado River. The plane would cross a mountain range and I would see a swath of green lawns, almost every one with a swimming pool in the backyard, all made possible by the Colorado River (which no longer reaches the sea).

I always found the view vaguely disgusting.
