Are there any answers to the problems in the west or are some areas just going to be uninhabitable?

Complete overhaul of water rights in California. Right now farmers just keep drilling deeper to compete for aquifers as they drop.
Also a rethinking of agriculture and what should be grown with irrigated water.
Also you could ban watering lawns and trees. Landscaping is something like 10% of all water use with half of that being lawns.
