Go Salmon!

Insanity.
Go Salmon!
I guess CA isn’t worried about water anymore? They can just get rid of reservoirs? Yet they’re going to come at CO and bitch about us not letting enough Colorado River water go? I can’t trap downspout water for my yard? eff you CA.
I say DAM the salmon!!
Apparently, they aren’t worried about water anymore, but not because of this tiny reservoir. They’ve been releasing water out of much bigger supplies. I doubt this one is big enough to worry about.
And just look at the Oroville Dam. Two years ago its reservoir was so full the dam was in danger of bursting. Now it’s nearly empty. Screw CA.
What was the purpose of the dam? Irrigation? Hydroelectric power? Flood control? Something else? Unless they built the dam for a lark, removing it will presumably remove the benefit of whatever it was created for.
Them salmon are lining up out in the ocean to swim up this dry creek.
Like the Hudson River dam at Utica didn’t teach anyone a lesson?
Tens of thousands of hatchlings produced annually, but it is “endangered.” Right. Only in California.
“Dam Demolition in Santa Cruz Mountains Benefits Endangered Salmon”
“Darn Demolition” would’ve been a more polite way to say that.
I am pretty sure that fish cannot swim upriver in this “rain gutter” they call a creek. If they can and do spawn, they will be stranded be 100% decimated by animals, die gasping for air, or heat exhaustion. Salmon need water deep enough to stay cold. These people in DFW are frickin’ MORONS.
Screw the salmon!
Send in the grizzlies...
Fix mine without the capers, please.
I read it.
I assume the no well clause wouldn’t apply to many at all. 110 gallons max and ONLY used on lawn or garden. Can’t even set out a bowl of it for the dog.
Some change.
And my bigger question is how do they enforce it? Do they have the right to come onto your property and measure how much water is in your barrels?
What does California need water for anyway?
California. Let it burn.
Because CA has plenty of water and they don’t need this reservoir.
That is the big question. If you only have two barrels it is unlikely that they will ever come and ask you anything. As for the usage restrictions ... "Prove that I use it for anything other than my lawn/garden!"
