“5 bucks says they will just let all that snowmelt run into the ocean.”
Every reservoir will be topped off, full.
What do you propose to do with the rest of it?
How about using it to hose down SanFan and L.A.
They could both use a good douching.
“What do you propose to do with the rest of it?“
They should have built more storage in the past to collect water from a season like this
Uh, maybe design and build a lot more reservoirs, for starters?
“What do you propose to do with the rest of it?”
Build new reservoirs.

Lake Oroville was full to overflowing two years ago. There was a FIVE YEAR volume of water stored behind the dam.
California DWP released so much water that the powerplant had to shut down in August, because the intakes for the turbines were no longer submerged. The marinas had to extend the boat ramps to 40-50-60 feet below normal low water marks.
They will let all this water go too. Gotta keep the plebs skeered!
Should have built more reservoirs and stopped the messycan useless eaters from flooding into the state. Duh.
