VDH: How Jerry Brown Engineered California’s Drought

Actually, here in Georgia, there has been NO mention of water problems in past two years I can remember. In a ditch down near the property line of mine next to the railroad there are several hundred gallons of runoff water that have been stagnant for at least a month or so.

FYI, Lake Sidney Lanier (source of a major portion of Metro Atlanta Water and surrounding ) has a full pool mark of 1071 ft. Today, it is at 1071.34.

At to the illegals and liberals question for TX and AZ? Hell yes.

In answer to your question about illegals and liberals in Georgia...in a fashion. Georgia instituted very tough laws re: illegals and what employers and agencies have to do. The voter ID requirements, tough new driver license requirements, AND tougher new penalties for employers who employ illegals. Add to that the fact that virtually every elected important state office (and legislature) is Republican controlled and you certainly don’t have a neglect of what my post was about.

Lower California and the upper coastline areas have a liberal problem and a long term sustainability problem related to the number of illegals they willingly harbor. Couple that with idiotic senseless allegiance to vapid ecoBS, etc. and you have long term disaster. This recent drought effect there just hastens the fall. Forethought and preparation are just a part of it -it’s the attitude and who they elect to control them.

I'll ask you like I have asked others.

What water storage projects in CA need to be built that are not being built?

You can't include Los Vaqueros, Sites Reservoir, Temperance Flat Dam and Shasta because those are already being addressed.

Nor can you include Ah Pah, Auburn, or two more dams on the Colorado River because those were rejected many, many decades ago.

Which leads you to the next question, will new water storage projects solve the current problems caused by the drought?

You put too much stock in what you think about what I think, frankly. California has already become an import user over what they can internally develop sustain.

Reservoirs? Try getting past the econuts on that. Try getting anything worthwhile past them to solve the problems. Desalinization plants, nuclear or anything except wind turbines that kill endangered Condors (that’s a good excuse).

Colorado River? Yeah. It borders CA/NV but after Meade and ending in MX to the sea it’s not so big, is it? It virtually disappears in Mexico. There is actually an internet link that shows what it looked like when the river actually reached the ocean.

I could give a crap about what happens to California or any other rabidly liberal state (by majority voting and government control standards).
