thackney thanks for your comments. Most posts appearing are not productive and negative. California is in a very serious drought condition. Some areas do not have have water even for basic needs. Their is a way to get water for emergency drought areas....Water by Rail

Water by Rail (WBR) is not going to solve all of Ca’s drought conditions, but it could bring emergency relief to some of CA’s hardest hit drought areas. Water can be moved in DOT 111 rail cars from water sources located in Oregon.
Each rail car is capable of transporting up to 32,000 gal of water and 100 cars 3,2 million gallons or roughly 10 cubic acre feet of water.

Water by rail is an emergency/relief-based operation capable of only limited impact. WBR it’s nothing new. In the past, this method has been used to combat drought situations in Australia, Israel, India, and even Illinois.

What must be done? Contact your local governmental officials, set up meetings.

How about a “WATER BULLET TRAIN FOR CALIFORNIA!” Got that Governor!

If they were willing to spend that kind of money per gallon, water would not be a problem.
