Had the hippies not taken over the Ca government, there would be many more dams and aqueducts finished post- Oroville. This dam was built to supply the Central Valley along with the planned growth of SoCal. In my youth, we heard there would be one long city from L.A. down to San Diego. The forefathers wanted these homes, farms, businesses supplied via the great Ca reservoirs.
This failure of even the repair is heartbreaking, vs a vs the decline of Western Civilization.
