"how permaculture approachs the California drought"

I expect Jerry Brown is fairly familiar with permaculture.  Though I'm 
not so sure about most of our legislators, particularly those that may 
be somewhat bought and paid for by Big Ag.

But when I saw this:
http://www.motherjones.com/environment/2014/02/wheres-californias-water-going
it made me wonder if a similar chart could be made with the numbers 
revised according to best permaculture ag practices.  Which, it seems, 
might be very persuasive for identifying legislators who might introduce 
legislation mandating such practices.  Obviously, the monoculture nature 
of these charts would have to reflect a different approach.

Just wondering.  I have no expertise on this topic.  Are there already 
folks working on similar legislative issues?  Obviously, the drought is 
not just about reducing water use which seems to be the public approach 
so far, but how we use and re-use and re-use it.

Thanks for considering.
