Nothing that that happened over the last few years is new, we have always had periods of drought followed by periods of excessive rains.

Concur, which is why the need for more reservoirs. The LA Aqueduct takes the majority of watershed from the Sierra Nevadas and diverts it to the Los Angeles basin.

“The LA Aqueduct takes the majority of watershed from the Sierra Nevadas and diverts it to the Los Angeles basin. “

And it will take more and more now that AZ has taken much of the water to which it was entitled to by law from the Colorado River, but didn’t for years, leaving it for SoCal. Also, SoCal has been restricted by court cases it lost regarding the amounts of water it can take from the Owens River.

No argument about reservoirs, and I would add desalination plants to that. But instead of common sense investments for California we got Moonbeams train from nowhere anyone wants to be to nowhere anyone wants to go boondoggle. Well actually it was just major payoffs to crooks.
