Everything that you say is correct. But given the choice between trying to maintain agriculture and guaranteeing working water taps, California should choose people.

[dredmorbius]

At some point the choice is going to have to come down to not people.

Or at least fewer of them.

So does that mean ag or taps?

[dredmorbius]

"Taps" == municipal water supplies.

That is: Not ag.

(Ag water generally comes from canals, irrigation districts, and in some cases pumps or aquifers.)

[roel_v]

What I meant was, when you choose people, does that mean the convenience of potable tap water, or agriculture? I could argue both ways.
