California's lost their water reserves for the year and potash is being tariffed.

Water is the hard one; the amount of water that people go through in a day, even in desert communities where people are very aware of the amount of water they consume--drinking, cooking, cleaning--is quite high. Storing enough for a full year for a household of four is functionally impossible. If I lived in California, I'd be looking for high-volume desalination systems.
