The state of California has a hard law that water cannot be sold to citizens or farmers for any amount over what it takes to produce it. Something like 15 cents per gallon as I recall. However, there is a loophole that they use to sell it to Nestle at some rate and no doubt with a kickback. Look at all the Nestle bottled water brands out there and you'll get an idea of where all of California's water has been going.
