CA? Manufactured for sure. There’s a huge effort across states to draw urban/suburban outliers into the taxing and managing realm by trying to regulate small system wells and local runoff.
Additionally, it’s always struck me as either nefarious or incompetence that can’t manage to bring CA reservoirs to capacity and hold that level going into spring/summer. It’s always “whoops, thought there was going to be more storms” when they end up at 50% levels in some going into the dry months when they could let them run hard to drop the percentage on an incoming rain event. That even helps the salmon by reducing the insect algae feeder load by stirring up bottoms.
On the bright side, it appears there will be enough rain this year/spring that we won’t have to listen to the bureauprog mouthpieces spout bulls*** about drought this summer every evening on the [un]holy box or wall altar...
We just had a snow flurry here in East Tennessee. I’m 72. This is the latest in the year I have ever seen snow here. I would ping algoreghoul but my old fingers find that too revolting to do. Now lets all panic at global warming ...
Yea, the water thing in CA is one of the top three things that piss me off about the dems ruling my state.
Last year, record rainfall, "drought" over and still water restriction laws not repealed. Though I didn't get any notices when I "accidently" broke the water laws. By accident.
Maybe they cut their budget on water Nazi personnel?
