California is sandwiched between an ocean and the largest desert in North America. It gets inconsistent rainfall and experiences long stochastic droughts. The Midwest is surrounded by the largest consolidated freshwater lakes in the world and gets reasonably high consistent average rainfall.

As a guy from south east Kansas most of the state has been in drought conditions for some time now, where are we getting this idea that landlocked states are less prone to drought?

much of california has been a desert in modern times. there was once a big lake in the central valley that dried up several hundred thousand years ago.

the only reason it has water for human needs now is because water is being piped in from other places.
