For too long, California and other states have viewed stormwater as either a threat or an inconvenience — something to be whisked away from cities and communities as quickly as possible.
But as traditional sources of water face worsening strain from climate change, population growth, agriculture and other factors, those unused gallons of rainwater pouring across asphalt or down rain gutters are starting to be viewed as an untapped resource that can help close the widening gap between supply and demand.

I feel bad for the victims of the fires, but they the residents voted for the incompetence.
Thought that runoff water was full of poop.
a billion here, a billion there- it starts to add up
were letting
Trump!
People who elect incompetents to office aren’t victims.
They’re accomplices.

“but they the residents voted for the incompetence”
Hard not to notice that.
The environmental idiots are trying to get their rising shorelines propaganda gig going.
globull warming crowd dontchaknow. Too much water is bad.
Mayor Bass planned on $500,000 salaried lesbians, DEI, pronouns,
and looking at fires through an “equity lens” would put out fires.
That didnt work out.
Now they’re trying water.

Yeah, I mentioned that to a bunch of Californians on FB who had lost a house of worship and were bemoaning that fact, and that really created a $hitstorm. I repeatedly pointed out bad decisions by pols that they voted for, including hiring decisions based on irrelevant (to fire fighting and prevention), and then they attacked me as if I had set the fires. Good, you only get flak when you’re over the target, which I clearly was. Got called every name in the book, and responded with “hey, I am just trying to help you morons avoid a repeat of this disaster the next time a fire starts - which it WILL - but y’all are to stuck on stupid to understand that.”
The stupid, it burns (literally, in this case).
actions = consequences
Some people refuse to see the connection.
They should build the tunnel.
“actions = consequences
Some people refuse to see the connection.“

I told them that, but apparently their parents never did. Hopefully, they will actual think this through before long and act accordingly so as to reduce the damage from future, inevitable, fires…but these are California Leftists, I am not going to hold my breath waiting for them to act in a logical manner.
la county electric voting machines did.
do you narrative control guys get swag bags for showing up ?
;-)
There are plenty of places in southern California for artificial lakes, that may come and go, for saving the rain water runoff, for various uses. But most water runoff controls are intent on getting rid of the water, not saving any of it.
I understand that, but it's the LA County liberals who let it happen(voter fraud) and they got the consequences.(fires, etc)
California is letting water flow out to sea?
OK, who let the LA Times in on that little secret. /s
It’s trillions. One inch or rain over one square mile is about 17.5 million gallons. During the heavy winter two years ago, some reporting stations in the Sierra registered more than 800 inches of snow. At a rule of thumb of one inch of water for every 10 inches of snow, that’s about 1.4 billion gallons over ever secure mile receiving that amount of precipitation
