... The focus of these concerns center around the Trinity River Restoration Program (TRRP), a longstanding agency who oversees releases from Trinity Lake in pursuit of restoring the river habitat. In water year 2023, they have implemented a new Winter Flow Project that has seen significant releases from the lake since February. ...
Right now, those releases aren’t making sense to many. The high volumes persist despite Trinity Lake having the lowest percentage of its historical average of any major reservoir in the state. ... Many have questioned why they had picked this particular year, when current lake capacity of Trinity Lake is 37% and according to the drought monitor, Trinity County is still in a moderate drought," Herb said. "And so anyway, long story short, it’s been difficult for people to accept and try to adapt to something that has happened so quickly and so it’s impacted our fishing industry, you know the guide service and the retail sales, along with recreation, anybody that’s looking for lodging, VRBO, restaurants, and then of course too, only time will tell how this all will impact Trinity Lake and the resources up that way.”

Who , and what, is the
"the Trinity River Restoration Program (TRRP), a longstanding agency who oversees releases from Trinity Lake in pursuit of restoring the river habitat.". ?
By that I mean is this a fed or state or county agency ?
Or just a watermelon eco Communist ngo with a deceptive name ?
Who gave them authority to put fish over people.
California pissing water to the occean again.
This time from a little-known trinity resivour , not shasta that everyone recognizes.
I say audit all water, fish, ext. surveys for cooked data .
The movie “Chinatown” is worth seeing if you want to understand water policy in the USA.
I’m dead serious about that. Especially for California.
You aint seen nothing yet, I got $100 that says within 1 year most of our reservoirs will have been drained by dipstick, just like he did 2 years ago.
With all the rain there is no capture system set up it just runs off to the ocean, deliberate. Wild fires continue each year with devastation because the program to cut back and clean debris have not been followed, deliberate. At every turn the rot of the rats have taken a knife to the throat of tax paying Californians to support the illegal invasion and the mentally ill agendas they all love
Little known perhaps, but massive. Shasta is the king at 4.5 million acre feet. But Trinity is a member of the huge second tier of Oroville, New Bullard Bar, and San Luis. Nearly 2.5
Million acre feet each, nominally enough water for 10 million people for a year. Check out this graphic. All the snow melt reservoirs on the north and east side would be full, except that flood control releases are in progress, and all of them will be full. Yet Trinity is only 37% full

They do this at Lake Corpus Christi. At first it was the dam was unsound. Kept the lake at about 50% capacity. Repairs were made. Then they had to save the shrimp in the bay. Made the water too fresh. The shrimp would move out of the back bay into the bay, and the shrimpers would all come out along the causeway because they could reach the shrimp.
Now they have to release water because when the river floods they have to release water so as not to flood the idiots who built in the river flood plain and get flooded every time it floods. Then they collect their insurance and just rebuild. Lake is at about 50% right now, because we have had a dearth of rain. The lake is controlled by the City of Corpus Christi, so they protect the rich folk who live on the river
It’s Common sense that’s endangered
The real reason is obvious why they release water from the lake. The refineries along the ship channel (which runs by the back bay) have ground water polluted with benzene and other VOC’s flowing into it from the adjoining refineries. The back bay is separated from the ship channel by a narrow strip of land. Nobody wants to address this, but I did monitoring for a plant between one of the refineries and the channel many years ago (this plant never produced hydrocarbons).
When you put a steel pipe carrying VOC’s on a concrete saddle, eventually the metal will corrode where the metal meets the concrete. Then the product leaks through the concrete into the soil, and you never see it. Now you’ve got a river flowing down-gradient, in this case into the ship channel. To cover this up you release water into the back-bay. Problem solved.
. Nice try though.
It flows from the east to the west through the coastal range to the ocean.
More north than south.
how much snow has piled up in the mountains around the lake?
when the snow melts well
This. The Corp of Engineers misjudged snow melt and that was exacerbated by spring rains that just ran off the frozen ground. Shut down I-29 north of Missouri Valley down to Kansas City. Years ago, Iowa and Nebraska created a choke point around Omaha and Council Bluffs. The river used to run 5 miles wide until they channeled it creating a choke point.
