A strong el nino delivers water to the Colorado basin...and to the Sierra Madre mountains... and to the hills before the mountains...and to the South Californika coast. The front side of the Sierra Madres get the most water. CA is doing nothing to retain that water for the dry season.
CA has abandoned not only the Jued=Christian religion but also the many practical lessons of civilization in that tradition.
