Um, no, it's called the Colorado River...
They should have built the Peripheral Canal years ago.
Taking water from Northern California and sending it south.
Instead, we pump it out of the delta.
First big earthquake, and the delta is going to turn to milkshake from collapsed levees..
There is no way on earth that will happen.
Northern Cal has been paying attention to what LA does to its water sources.
Summer water here is all spoken for. No more for LA.
If they want more water they will just have to pump it during the winter and find a place to store it.
Too bad. California has taken far more than its share of Colorado river water for years. The other states with water rights have grown and are drawing their share. California was ordered to reduce the amount of Colorado river water almost 5 years ago. The principal problem is that the estimates of available water were made at a time when the Colorado was at a very high historical flow rate. It's not that way anymore. Lake Mead is significantly lower than in the past.
California really needs to build some nuke power plants and run sea water desalinization plants if they hope to keep operating a civilization in the desert.
