1- Nature article is about need for innovation in governance, not a slapfight about water rights.
2a- wrt Nestlé vs almonds, two wrongs don't make a right.
2b- One effort to fight one injustice does not in any way reflect any position whatsoever on other injustices. Perhaps the Nestlé fraças is an opening salvo in a larger war; low hanging fruit to establish precedence for future battles.
3- California Water Resource Board addressed a sternly worded memo to Nestlé, asking them to please stop using 25x more water than they're entitled to. I'm certain that if almond growers did the same they'd also receive a sternly worded memo.
4- A keen observer may wonder if hurtful memos are sufficient for curtailing abuses. Perhaps bigger sticks are required. For some bluesky thinking on that topic, please read the Nature article referenced in point no 1.
