the california aqueduct below enables southern california (SC) habitability; it is an engineering wonder (bc so bad, it makes you wonder)

the demand never satisfied caused towns to be abandoned and rivers run dry

this, combined with the eco-disaster that is the central valley (CV)

over-fertilization is actively salting the soil, attempts to fix it caused mass die-offs in the salton sea

over-pumping CV aquifer caused land sinkage in areas

calling this unsustainable is an understatement
