California Governor Gavin Newsom unveiled a new water strategy on Thursday that plans for a future with 10% less water and shifts the emphasis from conservation to capturing more water that otherwise flows out to sea.
The state has budgeted more than $8 billion in the past three years to modernize water infrastructure that Newsom said would generate enough water for 8.4 million households in a state of 40 million people.
His plan calls for creating storage for 4 million acre-feet of water and recycling or reusing 800,000 acre-feet per year by 2030 in addition to more stormwater capture and desalination projects.

Release the Owens Valley water to the locals and use nuke powered ocean desalinization plants for all of the illegals in the LA basin.
But they won't.
There’s a gazillion canyons in this state. Dam them off and run pipes to the main lines. SHould have been done a bazillion years ago.
Newsom loves it if he could get rid of all the water he would
Quite frankly, no one should be surprised given that human trafficking, murder, theft, and drug abuse are encouraged activities in California. People must condone these activities because they keep electing the people who write the laws.endorsing criminal activities.
No one in this state has any common sense.
Hetch Hetchey was a big surprise to me when I showed up in the early 70s.
“Release the Owens Valley water to the locals and use nuke powered ocean desalinization plants for all of the illegals in the LA basin.”
BINGO!
Blow up the aqueducts.
They are unsustainable.
Haha! Damn straight Newsolini, you better start paying attention to the Thousands of new housing units being built in Kali.
CA hasn’t built a new reservoir since 1974. They’ve lost 50 years of water. Wake up the Rats greens and commie reds will destroy our country without your vote.
The same CA that is on track to “Remove” six or eight existing dams for fish and pleasuring the Eco-Nut fringe?
Yah, they are so very serious about this. /s
Well DUH ... took you this long to finally firmly grasp the obvious.
Planning was needed a few years ago. Now action is needed or more lying.
You Vill Drink der Sewage!
Und you Vill LIKE IT!!!
That is all.
Unless it’s huge underground cisterns, the enviros won’t let it happen.
I know. Get the Feds to dam and cover the LA “River”. Of course, the homeless and their Soros-funded lawyers will sue and win. Wait, wait. Ban flush toilets! Of course, grass (the lawn plant) will be illegal. Or, or, redesign the bullet train, so it can transport water from northern California, without endangering the salmon.
: )
The Los Vaqueros Reservoir and watershed is located in the northern Diablo Range, within northeastern Contra Costa County, northern California. It was completed by the Contra Costa Water District (CCWD) in 1998.
OTHER THAN THAT, though... yeah.
Release the Owens Valley water to the locals and use nuke powered ocean desalinization plants for all of the illegals in the LA basin.
