    Hey west coast, quit hogging all the waterfalls! Especially California, y’all don’t have water, why are you wasting it on falls?

      Hahaha! California actually has lot of pretty tall mountains that get regular annual snowfall so I’m assuming that’s responsible for quite a few of them. Also, contrary to popular belief it DOES rain there occasionally (most during January and February), but when it does, it’s often heavy enough to cause flash flooding, especially in the desert. I’m wiling to bet most of the waterfalls there are probably seasonal.

      the water crisis is largely in chunk, due to the agriculture taking up like 95% of it, as california by far is the largest state in the U.S in terms of crop export and it happens to also be the one producing the most water intensive ones (alfalfa(used as food for cows internationally), several nuts and avocados)
