Farmworkers Salvador Gonzalez Victorian, (L) and Federico Analla, in the dry irrigation ditch near Mendota, CA that they currently call home. They say they're living off the grid for lack of work. Average documented unemployment in the region is 36.5 percent, primarily due to lack of water and the subsequent layoffs in farm labor and other industries, according to a report by the Fresno County department of public health.
