The problem is a changing climate.

No it isn't. The Santa Ana winds have been a thing forever.
California - despite approving reservoirs ten years ago never built anything:

In November 2014, California voters approved Proposition 1: The Water Quality, Supply, and Infrastructure Improvement Act. The $7.5 billion bond dedicated $2.7 billion for the public benefits of new water storage projects. Some ask, “Why have no new reservoirs been built in the seven years since?” Rest assured, there are projects in the works. All recently passed a key milestone and are moving forward.

Plus no state mismanages its forests and shrublands quite like California does.
