Drought:  Stressed Citrus Trees and Higher Costs.  (Capital Public Radio News, 7/23/2015)

Zack Stuller is a grower in Exeter. He says he hasn't received water from the Central Valley Water Project in two years. 

He has spent $2,000 per acre-foot for water from distant agencies and $70,000 to dig a well for six-acres of lemons.
