Marc Reisner's book, "Cadilac Desert", is a good read. But his bias came from being a writer for the NRDC.
Agriculture has been the heart of the California economy since the end of the Gold Rush. If it uses 80% of the water, that's a good use compared to golf courses, huge green lawns, and private swiming pools.
Food in the USA is remarkably affordable compared to other countries. So the Sacramento-San Joaquin and Imperial Valleys are a national asset.
