CA government is engaged in 100% man made crisis when they deactivated all the reservoirs over the years.

They were in drought before, and then they weren’t. And now they are, and then they won’t be. It’s sorta cyclical.

But hopefully we have global warming because a warmer planet is a wetter planet. :)

Cool Water

...........
Dan can you see that big green tree
Where the water’s running free
And it’s waiting there for you and me?

Dan’s feet are sore he’s yearning for
Just one thing more than water, cool, water
Like me I guess he’d like to rest
Where there’s no quest for water, cool, clear, water

Chorus:
Keep a-movin’ Dan don’t ya listen to him Dan
He’s a devil of a man and he spreads the burning sand with water
Dan can you see that big green tree
Where the water’s running free
And it’s waiting there for you and me?

Midwest states suffering the most

The Democrats will solve this by bringing in millions more water consuming illegals.

We just expanded our garden by 25% just because we could. I might have to harvest all the wild garlic in my lawn this fall. :D

Time to build Desalinization Plants in CA and Pipelines to send the Water from there to AZ and Nevada.

Even better, send the Water on a Bullet Train owned by some rich DEMONCRAT from Omaha.

Just an idea... LOL

Snowpack is well below average this year...


Colorado River snowpack was below average this year (about 75% of normal), but the real problem was that in the Spring most of it evaporated and blew away, rather than melting and running-off into the river.

Two Blue states that cannot manage their natural resources, and I could care less. We have plenty of local crops and food and I’ll buy non- CA wines.

In instead of raving hysterically about carbon emissions, it might behoove mankind to start considering how to navigate climate change that is natural and which we cannot manipulate. When and if it gets figured out, it may be too late.

What a surprise - a drought in a desert. We build irrigation systems to provide for lack of water. Just like with healthcare the government wants access to these life sustaining products in order to control the population and solve problems that they themselves create through regulation.

Is this real California news or is it partisan hype for some nefarious end they have in mind?

California And Nevada Are Now 100% in Drought

Just as a possibility.... you might want to stop picking on churches, killing babies, glorifying perversion and lying.

See if that helps.

...lack of preparation, problem-solving, and adaptation by governments...

This is definitely the case in California.

They haven't added any reservoir capacity since the New Melones project was completed in 1979.

In meantime, the population of the state grew to 40 million while existing reservoir capacity has been diverted for questionable fish habitat schemes.

•Texas, not mentioned as much: 52% experiencing “abnormally dry conditions,” 32% “moderate drought,” 20% “severe drought,” and 12% “extreme drought.” Nearly 6% of the state is experiencing “exceptional drought.”

So, 122% some type of drought in Texas. What's the percentage of Texas that's not in drought and starting to drown? My squash sure isn't happy with all this rain.

The San Antonio aquifer in 1947 through about 1956 (56 being the worst)was at its lowest on record, that I can see.

Prepper should look up the 1950's 10 state drought that wasn't as bad as The Dust Bowl but worse than this.

These people and their global warming. Weather, we've always had crazy arse weather. Dry areas and deserts are always going to struggle.

The “drought” was the crisis used to gain power before Covid. Now that Covid is fading away, the drought becomes an issue again.

The Democrats never want to solve problems, just keep them going.
