Meanwhile the state and the feds are undertaking a very ambitious project to restore natural salmon runs in the San Joaquin river.

When I was a young kid of 6 I can remember seeing the salmon runs on the Tuolumne River, a tributary to the San Joaquin. It's also the source for Hetch Hetchy dam which provides water to San Francisco...exclusively.

The water would run RED. 100's of thousands if not millions of 6-10lb fish.

But those days are over and have be3en for AT LEAST 40 years.

That water is now being diverted to flow out into the Bay in the minute hope against hope that salmon can survive from plants.

We don't have that much water.

San Francisco takes it all at Hetch Hetchy.

Better have some weapons, too, as everyone now knows you have water.

Those rivers are where the town in question would get their water if they had not been cut off from the state.

And, they have SENIOR RIGHTS.

If Cali deported all of its illegals it’d probably have plenty of water to weather this.

Besides, best not for us to gloat. If it gets really bad they’ll start leaving there and coming to where we live.

California Water Cuts Leave City Days Away From Running Out Of Water

Better invite in twenty or thirty million new illegals, that will help.

I would think the current water shortage would halt development. Those of you in Cali, is that what you’re seeing?

The community’s sole source of water, the Byron-Bethany Irrigation District, was one of 114 senior water rights holders cut off by a curtailment notice from the state on Friday.

The dems who run Cali must be loving this. Total control of the most basic of needs is in the palm of their hands. Meanwhile, Moonbeam still gets his bullet trains.

Maybe they can use public transgender transportation railways to haul water from undeserving water rich states to California.

Why aren’t the California rich, sending water trucks to the water needy, and the farmers?

Drought Farm Aid.

They should state that they all identify as being fully hydrated.

Problem solved.

Haha!

You sat around lecturing us about the goodness and morality of high taxes.

So now, what are you in this rich berg getting for your money? Completely cut off. :)

Just think: if this was a poor black neighborhood the UN and the Federal government would be descending on the State of California. But because you’re rich and white it’s all okay.

And you’re racist if you complain. You’re the one who gets shouted down if you dare criticize the big libs in power. :)

Well enjoy it: you voted for it.

Great example of normalcy bias. Even with city officials saying they will be out of water in a few days she won't believe it, because things like that aren't supposed to happen.

Just this morning as I went out. I saw on our complex bulletin board a message from our manager. To please conserve water. We had to reduce a (I forgot) percentage or else the property will be taxes. Which means folks our rent will increase.

GOD I HATE DEMOCRATS!!!

She no longer thinks your nuts for storing the water. But now she thinks you're a complete idiot for blabbing about it to everybody.

If only Kalifornia had a large body of water right next door, their problems would be solved.
