“They are furiously draining the Oroville dam now, and all that water will just end up in the ocean. If they had more reservoirs, or better yet they could pump flood water into aquifers, they could store it for the next drought. “
We prefer to spend all of our money on making illegal aliens as comfortable as possible. No money left for small stuff like insuring that we have water.
Los Angelenos could store some in their swimming pools. Much of that Feather River water from Lake Oroville is diverted south to Los Angeles. Too bad they can't pump it faster over the Tehachapi Mountains via the California Aqueduct. Lake Oroville is the head of that diversion project sending water south via 700 miles of travel. We wouldn't have had drought problems here in the north if the south weren't stealing our water.
