Is that why they’re trying to push the farmers out - by keeping them from having water ..??
Look for Feinstein, her husband Blom and Ron Tutor of Tudor/Perini Corporation in the mix, “planning”
It's the same delta that isn't getting water that has been diverted for "ecological purposes" and a smelt.
This scheme sounds like it anticpates a land grab and tax dollar boondoggle, having very little to do with redirecting water that isn't there to be redirected.
(The gardener (green card) just came by, looked at the front yard, shook his head, stirred the soil around the dying roses, and left; no mid-winter tomatoes happening this year.)
tunnels are underground, aren’t they? so the only land needed is at their heads and tails. so why does california need to steal that much land?
I very much doubt faggot moonbeam ever had his nose or anything else near Ronstadt's chest. The closest he ever gets to anything female is gaia.
Stop stealing our water! This water is needed to scour out
the san Francisco Bay: you realize this bay has a silt build-up, it is only 3 feet deep in many places. Also, this water is needed for northern California farms. Brown senior first stole our water to overbuild southern California.
As Rush said this morning, “That is obvious to the Common Sense Citizen”.
Beyond the war against any private ownership or private business.
SoCal, Orange County in particular, has one of the deepest aquifers in the entire country.
The problem is we just haven’t been getting any rain to replenish it.
That, and the fact that massive immigration from the 3rd world has vastly increased the population that is using the water that we do have.
...... Aquifers are much different that "Cisterns." Aquifers rely pretty much on the amount of natural rain that seeps into the ground and replenishes the water table. Cisterns, on the other hand, are for the most part artificially created Underground storage areas which would be greatly suited for arid regions when rainwater is directed and channeled for collection in them.
.... In Los Angeles for instance, we have the so called L.A. River which directs the rainwater mostly out to sea instead of collecting that valuable resource for future use.
The Santa Ana river contains a long series of settling and percolation ponds as it passes through Anaheim and Orange. The OCWD uses these ponds to recharge our groundwater basin. That basin supplies 75% of the water north OC uses.
We are mystified why you folks to our north lined your river with concrete, except that it does make for a popular movie location.
The solution to government created problems is... more government?
No FN way our water goes to California.
A lot of people around here are whining and moaning about the drought, but I think it’s great! Show people what it’s loke to live without water (or with a great deal less) and see what they say then.
PS: I’m at Lake Tapps, which got hijacked for Cascadia water supply... well, we’ll see about it, hey!
Yeah, right.
I'd rather tear up and pave a desert than the prime farmland that was the Los Angeles basin and San Gabriel Valley.
It’s my understanding that they want to tear up the farms to ship water to all the people living in the desert.
The three big water systems just launched a joint commercial calling for water conservation.
Everett is stupid, so someone is going to come along and take Spada Lake from them.
Yes it is, but that doesn't make the principle of locating cities in a desert a bad thing when it comes to either human habitation or making the most of the land's resources. Don't get me wrong, the water tunnel is a stupid idea. LA should get its water from desalinization.
Can’t they just dump the water in the ocean from the north and central part of the state?
I agree, and I think they should reduce their population by sending the illegals home instead of offering them obamacare.
