Amid a megadrought plaguing the American West, more rural communities are losing access to groundwater as heavy pumping depletes underground aquifers that aren’t being replenished by rain and snow.

And the number of illegals coming across the southern boarder since Brandon took over is larger than the population of Kansas.
It would be a shame if they dried up and blew away.
In the 80s, reservoirs were being destroyed.
Before we bailed out, we did an assessment of what has happened to the state over the past 40+ years and thanks to reckless chain immigration and millions of illegals flooding into the state while the CA leftist ruling class waves them in, the whole place is screwed. It’s never going to magically return to what it once was and will continue to get worse. It can’t be salvage. A sad shame, but that’s the way it is.
I have read that Almonds take more water than any other crop.
Maybe they almond groves need to cut down.
“Reservoir is the solution. But those dolts can’t figure it out to save themselves.”
No it isn’t. A train to nowhere is the only solution to the drought.
Libtard’s brilliant solution is to flood our country with illegal consumers
Environmental water use falls into four broad categories in California:
Rivers protected as “wild and scenic”
Water required for habitat and ecosystem protection
Water for wetlands and wildlife preserves
Water needed to maintain water quality
When considered that half of the water in the state is used for environmental desires and not a percentage of that in the production of food and a sustainable life for the people that actually grow it, there is a disconnect there. By doing what the state wants with the water, shipping it to high voter areas like L.A. and the Bay Area to maintain their capacity, they are literally turning the agricultural area into the desert it was before the easterners arrived.
And with the overflow of population re-establishing itself in the valley from the cities, it only increases the log jam. Tack that on to when Owens Valley dries up enough that they have to cut off the flow for their survival, and Lakes Powell, Mead and Havasu reach a point of unable to perform even from as far away as Colorado, it will just destroy California’s water system and the place will go back to the desert the locals lived in before it became a new world beginning. And man did it to himself again.

Sounds like LaMalfa is conscientious about trying to get good stuff done.
My brother has a houseboat on Lake Shasta. That lake is in rough shape now.
Man made drought
“All conservative minded folks move to a competitive state and tip it in favor of conservative candidates.”
We shall see this coming election.
AZ will be ground zero as will NV.
Sounds to me like the Border-Jumping Invaders drank all of Cauliphonya’s water and have just about finished off Arizona, New Mexico and Texas’s water. I’m pretty sure that the Marthas up at the vineyard have a hell of a lot more water than the “border towns” of Texas, New Mexico and Arizona have (a little Martha talk there).

The Calif constitution allows for The state to be broken into smaller parts, and there is the Jackson state effort.
You may be correct, we shall see.
Bump for Study
Dams/reservoirs work fine. Unfortunately, we have dumbasses that want to breach dams to "save the fishies". The left is anxious to knock down 4 dams in Idaho to "save the salmon from extinction". It's a campaign built on a lie that would cause problems with water supply, flood control, transport of farm products to market and electrical power generation.
Can you convince them to MOVE???
The last :”Inventory” I saw regarding the Delta Smelt was 7 were found in 3 days of multiple boats trying to net them.

Pretty much ONLY state that grows almonds.
My wife worked as a Sheriff's Office dispatcher in San Diego. She resumed similar work for police/fire/EMS in our new city. Less hourly pay, but lower cost of living too. I continued the "work from home" mode extending the distance from 12 miles to 920 miles. The relocation has worked out fine. We will retire in Idaho.
I had to wait until 2019 due to obligations etc...It’s worked out very nice.
And speaking of water, in my territory of Arizona we’ve had rain every week on and off and sometimes daily for about 3 months! All the lakes are way up, ground water etc...It’s so green I feel like I’m somewhere else...lol
Who’d a thunk there’d be a water shortage from millions of people moving to a desert?
