Parts of the Sierra Mountains have 600% of regular snowfall. Between the massive rain earlier, and the current amount of snowmelt, Kalifornia could conserve tremendous amounts of water for the dry years. But, noooooo. Kalifornia continues to empty reservoirs and tear down as many dams as possible.
Also, there is another massive body of water just off the coast of Kalifornia. It is so massive, it qualifies as an ocean. Using the latest Israeli desalinization methods, Kalifornia could have unlimited, clean water. Israel has so much clean water, they export it to their neighbors. The Kalifornia democRATS just want a permanent crisis, the permanent drought.
WOW! I just looked up and found that Israel sells desalinated water for $0.41 per cubic meter. That’s cheaper than California!
Yep if California had spent all those billions they wasted on the high speed train to nowhere on desalination plants they not only would have plenty of water for themselves they could be making huge $$ on selling the excess to landlocked desert states like Arizona and Nevada.
The purpose for the Daguerre Point dam is retention of hydraulic mining debris and to protect navigation in the Feather and Sacramento rivers. These dams have nothing to do with reseviors.
