Watch: Water & Power: A California Heist 2017 123movies, Full Movie Online – Water & Power: A California Heist uncovers the alarming exploits of California’s most notorious water barons, who profit off of the state’s resource while everyday citizens, unincorporated towns, and small farmers endure debilitating water crises.

As the divide between water haves and have-nots grows, we face a humbling reality: water is the new oil, and as it becomes less accessible, it is rapidly growing more valuable..

A great documenatary on the water situation in California
The documentary views the practices of ‘The Wonderful Company’, aka Paramount Farms, a mega-agribusiness that uses large quantities of water to irrigate acre upon acre of almond trees (a luxury crop that uses lots of water) while in a nearby town the residents have no water. Whole counties, such as Kern County are in their pocket.Nothing like it has been seen here since the (debated) Southern Pacific Railroad running of California State politics pre-1910. Or seen here since the film “Chinatown” was released in 1974, which documented a previous water theft, but is still relevant today.
No mention of the beef or dairy industry
1 gallon of water to make 1 pound of almonds… this is the huge argument in this documentary… “we don’t need almonds…”What about the fact that it takes 1800 GALLONS of water to make ONE POUND of BEEF??? Guess what folks, beef and dairy products are not healthy for humans to consume, or the world to survive, and we flat out don’t need them.
No mention of the beef and dairy industry in this documentary. Which is absolutely insane given that they are the reason for the water shortages and deforestation all over the world.
