President Dumb as a Stump ordered the release of over 2 billion gallons of water from reservoirs in California which hold water for agricultural use in the summer months.
Not only has this release of water done nothing for water supply to fight fires in Los Angeles (only water in the California Aquaduct comes from Northern California to Los Angeles, it has to be pumped over the Tehachapi Mountains), it was a complete waste of this precious resources, because it had to be released to the ocean ...
Ironically, the area served by the two reservoirs , Lake Kaweah and Lake Success in the southern Central Valley had exceedingly wet years in 2022 and '23, flooding crop land and refilling historic Lake Tulare. After two years the lake had finally dried out enough for some of the lost crop land to come under production again.
President Crap for Brains literally ordered water released to the only place in California that IT COULD NOT BE USED!!!
