California has plenty of water in the Northern part of the state that could be diverted to the Southern part, look at the Russian River, Feather River, all pouring out into the ocean. Only reason it is not being used now is the Greenies.

Yup! There's enough water in Lake Tahoe to cover the Big Valley from Redding to Bakersfield with over a foot of water!

Oh, and Lake Tahoe is not a natural lake, but rather a reservoir with a dam operated by the Federal Bureau of Reclaimation!!!

Oh, and there are excellent sites for new reservoirs in the "Desolation Wilderness" just over the ridge of the Sierra on Tahoe's west side. Water stored that high could be wheeled with tunnels and generators to supply both CA & NV with inexpensive water for generations to come!!!

See... all the Sierra Flub does is make everything cost more due to artificial scarcity. We have no scarcity of resources but the dang fools want humankind to die!!! (except their kind)

It wouldn't be California without the Wienies...

Water is so cheap in Southern California that there are many communities that don't even have meters. Per capita consumption of water is nearly three times what it is in Northern communities. They still spray the water for irrigation in the middle of the day (when it damages the grass) into hot dry winds. They are using so much it is salinating the soil.

They're used to stealing water from farmers and for once they didn't win. They have plenty, they just have to stop whining and price it correctly.
