Newsom and his cronies will find ways to squander this in order to perpetuate the public’s hardships.
In the 1990s, the Climate Cretins claimed that by now there would be ZERO snow in the Sierra Nevada...
Wasn’t CA just complaining about a drought?
Newsome will tax its use.
It’s similar in Colorado. When droughts break, they don’t mess around, they break big.
The California Reservoir system hold enough water for 5 years assuming NO RAIN.
I got $100 says they are empty in 2 years
But it’s still a drought.
Always forever a drought.
The drought is getting worse! Of course, it may be because California has disastrous policies regarding water.
Sadly, only rain here in Reno so far today.
They panic if there is not enough snow-pack and they complain if there is too much. Decades ago there were lakes built to catch that melting snow to save for future use, along with dams they could use to control the flow of water. I understand many of those dams have been removed, and more are scheduled to be destroyed, thus reducing the amount of water saved and used from the snow.
More fools come spring time!
if that is too much for you, we would be happy to take some of that from you - Colorado
The problem we have in California is the jackasses running it. We have been pummeled with storm after storm these past few weeks. However, with the lack of storage facilities (reservoirs), LOTS of water is wasted as it flows out to the bay and ocean.
so the govenor says that climate change is the cause of all the rain storms. does that mean that climate change is a good thing?
Because the state has kicked the can down the street with regards to earthquake reinforcement of reservoir dams, the state tends to release water to reduce pressure on the dams. The largest reservoir in Santa Clara County, Anderson, is at a seriously reduced maximum level while they *finally* work on earthquake upgrades for it’s dam.
Just search the phrase “California dam removal” to know that they have no intention of ‘saving’ any snowmelt. Also, there is a very large body of water alongside the western side of Kalifornia. Just a few desalination plants, and Kalifornia could export water, just like Israel has done. Israel is at the forefront of desalination; they have enough fresh drinking water to export it to other countries.
Kalifornia is the epitome of a Marxist mentality. Create shortages, ESPECIALLY of essential items. Trees and snail darters are in crisis, as long as humans remain alive. A crisis (democRAT caused or not) is a terrible thing to waste.
Check the Christmas season of 1955 in the Bay Area of California. Same thing, before flood control however.
Empty reservoirs = climate change
Full reservoirs = climate change
I was born there...but left in 97-98.....Glad I left..as the State was going in the tank then.
I have many stories........
