For a good description of what California's geography was/is really like, a good read is "Two Years before the mast" by Richard Henry Dana Jr.

Not only that, you have to pump it all uphill. Water from the mountains is all gravity delivered.

For those that have not read the book. The exploits of a man in the age of sail. I doubt few of us today could go through what he did. I have no ideal of the year I read it. He was a good descriptive writer of his time.

I read about what Magellan and crew had to eat during the long doldrum spells in the Pacific.

Them there were some people who were determined to survive.
