Here's a Policy Brief that looks at California agriculture water use - and it varies depending on the amount of precipitation the state receives. It's not linear, and it's not 80%.
Thanks for this. My fav part: "Agriculture uses 80% of the water statement in media reports. Ag and urban sectors only compared. Environmental water is excluded in water distribution. Incorrect use of data."
