California Releasing Water from Reservoirs, Claiming Drought Conditions – California Globe

"What they don’t say is that the state has been letting water out of reservoirs across California for months now. And it’s not going to farmers, growers, ranchers or urban use. Environmental policy says the water “flows” from reservoirs are necessary to produce a rebound of endangered Delta smelt and Chinook salmon. However, these policies are a failure as neither species have been collected in all of the latest trawling surveys, where they spend several days a month searching in more than 200 spots. This practice of releasing water and hoping fish improve, has been unsuccessful for nearly 30 years, according to Kristi Diener, a California water expert and third-generation Central Valley farmer. Both species are close to extinction.

Meanwhile, as the reservoir water flows are not saving fish at all, the State of California has known we are heading into a multi year drought. But northern reservoir managers have continued to release water through the Delta, and into the Pacific Ocean anyway."

California’s largest reservoirs at critically low levels – signaling a dry summer ahead

Images from Lake Oroville and Lake Shasta compiled by the state show ‘a shocking drop in water levels’ compared to years past

Jay Inslee and the envirowhackos in WA are trying the hardest to rip out four lower Snake R. dams for the same reasons. Forget farmers, navigation, and recreation and a lot of the cleanest renewable power generation available.

That is Californication for you as they screw the people who elect them.

Deltas are very important to ecosystems... Like estuaries. Maybe the US should invest in capturing ground water in recharge dams instead of fighting each other.

California agriculture is the heart of US food production. Ruin agriculture there now and the US starves next year.

I would think that areas with potential water concerns need to step up to the plate and prepare for the future. They are not. Our forebears conquered the continent. We have many more people here. And this dangerous game is being played by influential people who think themselves as gods.

Why would they be dumping snow melt into the ocean in the middle of a drought?

Estuaries are very important ecosystems. They should be capturing ground water. It's just laziness.

Have you ever been to the Sac-San Joaquin delta? Apparently not. I've lived there over a period of nearly fifty years and I have never seen the delta dry. If there is so much concern, maybe your democrat envirowhackos ought to quit draining it to SoCal by way of the CA aquaduct and start building desalination plants off the SoCal coast.

Or hire Dutch engineers.

LMAO, and that will magically make the water grab from SoCal go away? Investigate the Owens valley of CA--that was another LA water grab with disastrous results for the people living in the watershed.

Look what they did in the Netherlands.. talk about a modern miracle.

I was unaware that Netherlands had a desert. The CA delta has had levees directing the flow of the water for over a hundred years, why do they need the Dutch? Indeed, the CA aquaduct is just one such misguided engineering "marvel"
