The problem is more environmental. Many people want to restore the
Sacramento river delta and the various feeder rivers to their "pristine"
state. The "pristine" state, almost by definition, includes no meaningful
water withdrawals, especially since the water mostly travels to SoCal
to evaporate/drain off there. Similar concerns have applied to Mono
Lake, and now there are movements to restore Owens Lake.
Acessibility is a nonissue. California is voting to spend oodles of money
to *not* use water it has used in the past.
