Isnʻt Bakersfield comparable to the EU and Japan?
In my lifetime, I have noticed a pattern of three to five years of drought, followed by one to three years of above average rainfall.
This pattern is not set in stone, it is just an overall guideline of what I generally expect.
I expected the rain to come last year, but much like in 83, it came at the tail end of the El Nino this time.

Its where the greatest country music on earth was born, but that "lonesome whistle blow'n" was old timey, slow speed rail.

I was stationed in Lemoore for a bit. Thereʻs a reason why the Navy placed their Hornetʻs nest out there. Itʻs not because of population density thatʻs for sure. My engineering background says that a 4k rider per sq. mile makes the rail successful. No go otherwise
Most of Southern Cal already has toilet to tap, but people don't want recognize what has been flushed down the Colorado River.
Last year was a little below average rain and snowpack. It would have been seen as a normal year if it were not at the end of a multi-year drought. This year is turning out to be way above average if the weather continues beyond this week. What we were missing during the drought winters were the Gulf of Alaska storms running northwest to southeast big enough to drench the whole state for a few days at a time and more than once a year. Instead we had a weather pattern that looked like a roadblock sitting off the coast steering all the good wet storms north and south of us. This winter we have had storms alternating from the northwest (as in typical winters) and southwest (as in El Nino winters). Right now the satellite pictures show all kinds of interesting stuff heading our way.

Instead of building oil pipelines why not water pipelines?

I meant 'de-sal plant' not "deal plant" . . . damn spell check!

Because you need oil to make, transport, install, power pumps to move water through water pipes and maintain those pipes. Did I miss anything?

Yes, that some regions have more water than they need and out here we have less. So pipeline it out here . . . oh wait, you didn't want an answer, you were just trying to be a wise-cracker like usual, never mind, as you were.

Were your water pipelines going to magically appear?

It was a suggestion, an idea, try it sometime . . . or did you simply swing and miss yet again?

Just highlighting your ideas and how dependent they are on fossil fuels.

You need electricity, not sure about oil.

Things can change, if people allow it.
