I have worked on Highway 5 close to Lake Shasta and have seen it full and way down as you describe. CA has this devotion to the Ocean so a lot of water is wasted there. In more recent years, the lake that had dried up called Lake Tulare got going again. I came to Idaho from CA in 2019. This state has a good handle on water. Lake Shasta is excellent as far as I know.
Hilarious
Stop whining then.
He did no such thing, moron.
When you insult, you fail. Try to stop failing.
Water issues in Idaho include
California started going down when the Sierra Club banned logging on Federal land because of the Spotted Owl. From there, the environmentalists started closing BLM land to the public and generally prohibited cleaning up forests with large fuel loads. Their solution was to just let in burn. They have way to much power and today, one cannot do hardly any improvements without going through a gauntlet of prohibitive environmental regulations. I used to deal with the local Shasta building dept and one day when I was at the building dept. (now called 'resource management') I saw a big, thick bible looking book on he counter. Thousands of pages bound. I asked what it was and they said 'Oh that's an environmental impact study for a new housing development. Next to that there was a smaller tome that was a 'traffic study' for the same development. Unfortunately, due to all that 'red tape' the project never got off the ground.
“Consistent with the direction in the Executive Order on Emergency Measures to Provide Water Resources in California, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is releasing water from Terminus Dam at Lake Kaweah and Schafer Dam at Success Lake to ensure California has water available to respond to the wildfires,” wrote Gene Pawlik, a supervising public affairs specialist in the Army Corps’ Washington, D.C. office.
The quality of Idaho’s ground water affects nearly everyone in the state. Although Idaho’s ground water quality is generally good, monitoring shows that water has been significantly degraded in specific areas. This localized degradation negatively impacts water quality and potentially threatens domestic water supplies, aquaculture, agriculture, mining, industrial, and other ground water beneficial uses. Three more commonly found constituents in Idaho’s ground water include nitrate, arsenic, and uranium.”

Most citizens only know of the words Environmental impact report.
That's a real possibility.
Also, from bob's posted article (which he didn't read apparently).“Consistent with the direction in the Executive Order on Emergency Measures to Provide Water Resources in California, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is releasing water from Terminus Dam at Lake Kaweah and Schafer Dam at Success Lake to ensure California has water available to respond to the wildfires,” wrote Gene Pawlik, a supervising public affairs specialist in the Army Corps’ Washington, D.C. office.
Trump administration's order to release water into San Joaquin Valley raises concern
The Army Corps of Engineers' decision to release water from dams in the San Joaquin Valley is causing concern among regional water managers.www.visaliatimesdelta.com
When will Democrats take the country over?
Yeah, the smog during republic control of the state was so much better.
I read that. Why complain when you do the same thing? Notice the paper did not quote a single republican politician. It is a false flag. The pair of dams are helping citizens of CA who also own that water. But you want them to not get any.
We got rid of most smog when Republicans were our Governors.
Republicans really went at smog but guess what else we did? We got the SF Bay cleaned up. Democrat used the bay for a toilet.
How is the water helping them bob.
The smog was reduced because the people of CA moved left and elected a legislator that pushed republic governors to act.
Hey guys, look. Trump took control of the crisis with a simple common-sense solution. If you aren't going to have decency enough to show gratitude, the very least you leftwingers can do admit "Hey. Our side messed up. What the hell were we thinking? Trump did the job. Let's learn from this".
