California Environmentalists are anti-immigrant.

Oh, of course they will continue to encourage non-citizens to illegally go into California as the water shortage intensifies. Maybe this only sweetens it for the Left. Americans will leave due to the water shortage and the illegal aliens will replace them, making California into the Third World paradise that they are hoping for.
Desalination plants are the obvious answer. And they’d help with that “rising sea level” crap. So why do you oppose them, libs?
Funny how the world survived and thrived prior to the EPA and all the environmental restrictions in CA. They vote down the construction of new power plants because of their environmental impact and then get PO’ed when power must be rationed with rolling brownouts. Cake...eat it, too.
So, how are the golf courses doing?
She said, as we all know, this is a government created disaster. California has been suffering form drought since forever. (it's a frikking desert)
That because the radical leftists will not let them build any new infrastructure something like 70-80% of the run off and precipitation ends up flowing back into the ocean.
She also said the population of Calfornia has doubled in recent decades. Hmmm....But, even so, domestic use is something to the tune of 13% of all water used.
Greentards will kill us all, if we let them.
“Would that we inspected Iran’s nuke facilities with as much zeal!”
Amen to that.
That's not true! Shasta Dam and Oroville Dam are both north of the delta along with a number of smaller dams and reservoirs.
They can buy water from the French Alps.
The “severe drought” began shortly after Judge Vauhgn Walker struck down Prop 8— Coincidence?
Bttt.

To be fair, more dams wouldn’t be much help this year.
Dams can’t collect water that doesn’t run off..
There is also a hard upper limit on how much water can be collected and distributed by water projects.
Unlike desal, which is unlimited given space and power.
Desalination doesn’t do anything about rising sea levels.
All the water taken out eventually winds up back in the ocean.
Just as it does with the natural analogue, evaporation followed by rainfall.
10% of California’s water goes to growing almonds! And California provides 80% of the world’s supply of almonds. Some think that the almond growers are paying too little for the water they are using.
