“We can’t make it rain,...”

A new mantra.

Well, why not, we can legislate everything else.

Jerry tried, but Calif dried.

Raise the price. People will conserve where it suits them.

They never should have sent any.

Southern Cal was offered a chance to become a partner in the building, turned it down and then sued.

Let them dry up.

I bet the Algorians are wringing their hands with glee.

GLOBAL WARMING will be the mantra....

Never let a crisis go to waste.

“...the State Water Project announced Friday that it won’t send any more water down from Northern California...”

Hmmm, time for Southern California to announce it will no longer send tax money to Sacramento! FUJB...FUNP...FUBB...

This isn’t going to end well for Moonbeam and his cadre of progressives.

Conservation is pointless when there is nothing to conserve.

The dumb arses in Kalifornia should have, years ago, started building desalinization plants. Instead they're wasting good taxpayer bucks on "renewable energy". Today, still, there is no mention of the future of water in the state.

Another reason to get the hell out.

Kalifornia could send a few million illegals out of the state until it rains.

I hope the delta smelt aren’t hurt by drought conditions. We all know the perfect flow of water has been maintained forever and ever until manmade global warming.

This is just like the ‘Seahawks ban Giants Fans’ type of story, sure, it is factually accurate, but the state water project has cut off ALL WATER SUPPLIES in the state.

http://www.water.ca.gov/swpao/docs/notices/14-02.pdf

As you can see in the above PDF, every water contractor in the state just got told to pound sand and they'll only get residual water not delivered from previous years.

And this is far from the first time that such little allocations have been made. In fact, the Los Angeles Metropolitan Water District will get more water this year than they were initially allocated in 2009, 2010, & 2011.

And is it for a utter lack of water? Nope, it is a lack of water that meets the environmental mandates from the courts for the preservation of Delta Smelt and other supposedly endangered species.

Just...tired of the misleading articles. To take the title and content of this article, you'd imagine that the state drew a line and said ‘no one south of this gets water.’ Instead they said no one gets water (unless they have left over from last year...)
