> It adds up. Almonds take around 3 feet of water to grow commercially. The region they're gown in in California gets around 12 inches of annual rainfall. If the shortfall is covered with groundwater, you have a point, but a lot of it is also diverted snow melt (which, to complicate matters, can recharge groundwater). It really depends on where they're being grown, even within the central valley. |
