Fracking (which Hillary has promoted worldwide) is putting California farmworkers out of work:

For those who don't know, California was supposed to be hit by massive el nino rainstorms during the rainy season this winter. It did rain a fair amount in the northern part of the state, but central California (where much of the agriculture is located) through southern California, the drought persists.

fracking, which Hillary promotes worldwide, uses huge amounts of precious water. It is even harming farmworkers who are being laid off:

Fracking In California Used 70 Million Gallons Of Water In 2014

By Rory Carroll

SAN FRANCISCO, April 2 (Reuters) - California oil producers used 214 acre-feet of water, equivalent to nearly 70 million gallons, in the process of fracking for oil and gas in the state last year, less than previously projected, state officials told Reuters on Thursday.

Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, occurs when water and some chemicals are injected deep underground at high pressure to break up rock and release oil and gas into wells.

The practice has been criticized in the state, which is suffering from a drought so severe that Governor Jerry Brown announced the first-ever mandatory 25 percent statewide reduction in water use on Wednesday......

Meanwhile, farmworkers are laid off because of the severe water shortage:

....“Our rent is $600 and right now we only pay half," she says. "We don’t have enough to eat. There just isn’t money for everything.”

Lukas is Mixteca, part of an indigenous group from southern Mexico that’s increasingly become part of California’s farmworker labor force — indigenous migrants who often work the lowest-paying jobs in US fields.

Now, a new survey shows they’ve been hit particularly hard by California’s drought, as farmers leave some fields fallow, or plant crops like almonds that require less labor.....

The drought will cost California farmers $2.7 billion in 2015 alone, according to a University of California, Davis, study published in May, and 564,000 farms will be left idle during growing seasons, resulting in up to $856 million in lost crop revenue. As fields dry up, so do the jobs that California farmworkers, the majority of whom earn less than $19,000 a year, rely on for their livelihood. The drought is expected to result in 17,100 jobs being cut.

“For those whose ability to provide for their families is most immediately affected by the drought, this funding will provide much needed temporary employment,” U.S. Secretary of Labor Thomas E. Perez said in a Department of Labor press release.

For families that rely on farm jobs, the funding could mean an immediate return to work. The federal funds will pay for 1,000 laid-off farmworkers to do six-month stints on drought-restoration projects, such as removing dry brush, and a smaller $7.5 million state program will provide direct payments for covering expenses such as rent and bills. Still, the funding won’t be enough to help everyone who has lost work owing to the drought.

With the drought showing no signs of abating, even if the strong El Niño pattern developing in the Pacific brings a wet winter, California’s $46.7 billion agriculture industry will need to adjust to keep production going and farmworkers employed. The UC-Davis study identified three ways that farmers can combat the drought’s effect on employment loss and crop growth in central California: groundwater substitution, water market transfers, and grower use of limited water.

Regions with sufficient access to groundwater are able to irrigate most of their land, as opposed to farmlands that rely on surface water irrigation. The study estimates that surface water shortage will be greater in 2015 than it was in 2014, when many farmers in the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys received no water deliveries from the federal Central Valley Water Project. However, if farmers increase groundwater pumping, it’s expected to reduce the shortage by 70 percent. Similarly, by transferring groundwater to farmers without access to their own wells, water districts can help provide near-term relief for farming efforts in drought-affected Central Valley regions. ....
