And yet they are dumping thousands of gallons of water in the ocean. I can’t reconcile the thinking on this.
There is no rational it’s Commiefornia!!!
#20 Back in the old Soviet Union the current dictator was going to visit some airbase or rocket base so the local communists ordered the planting of thousands of trees to line the road from the airport. After the visit the trees all died as no water was nearby. All for show.
In the case of the commies in California they are deliberately destroying the central valley so other commies can buy up the land cheap.
It’s not hard to figure out, but most people don’t think of this: river flow has to be above a known minimum to prevent salt water pushing too far inland at high tide. There are inlets along the river that feed municipal drinking water supply systems, and these cannot suffer salt water invasion. “Dumping” fresh water into the ocean maintains river flow above the minimum, which protects these water supplies.
