Outstanding data set in Megan Konar's new pub: rdcu.be/dE1WG
Here's a quick dataviz of total water use across all crops in Oregon. (working fast & late at night, just preliminary)

Total statewide:
2008: 7.2M ac-ft (31% GW)
2020: 6.6M ac-ft (25% GW)

I love data like this.

It helps us understand the incredible impact our food and agriculture system has on the planet.

And it can help point towards solutions where we can produce healthy food without compromising the environment.
