Can you tell me some of the history of water resources in California related to the current drought?
<|assistant|>
Water resources in California have always been a source of both prosperity and conflict. The Golden State's vast supply of abundant, reliable water has sustained a population that now numbers in the populous. In recent years, however, drought and poor resource management have highlighted the fragility of California's water system and exposed the state’s limited water infrastructure. The extreme dry spell currently ravaging the state has been referred to as the state’s most severe drought in recorded history, leading to strict regulations regarding water use and prompting an ongoing effort to modernize California’s water infrastructure.
