Every drought in commiefornia is man made.
Someone is commenting as Tim but it’s a fake account I believe
Do you actually believe it’s “natural disaster”?
Shout out Central Valley 😁👌🏾. 559 .
It's my understanding that there is evidence that California has had droughts in the last several thousand years that lasted 50 to 200 years. What are they going to do if they get another one of those? If it's happened in the past it can certainly happen again and most likely will someday. I can't say I have much sympathy for people who complain they are running out of drinking water and still water their lawns either.
Water levels in Lake Mead has been going down for close to two decades now. Part of the issue was the explosive growth in Las Vegas around 2000 (went for a number of years). The rain and snow fall in the Sierra Nevada mountains and the surrounding region has been low for quite some time as well and has not been enough to outpace usage. I lived there in the 90's and the lake was full early in the decade, close to the point that the overflow spillways were going to see use for the first time. By the time I left in 2002 the lake level had dropped to the point they had to move boat docks and ramps because they were no longer near the lake edge. Not long after I left the state was paying for people to replace grass with desert landscaping (not that yards were large there, just big enough to satisfy easement requirements).
The high desert tickets you for brown spots on the lawn. They also ticket you if you water any day that’s not Thursday or Monday. It’s insane!
😆 California is being financially held up by the Farmers… 😆

Thumbs up..!
What’s a starling?
i look at yahoo news regularly and not a peep. not a single word or article covering this. Last few droughts their was dozens of articles each time.
Reminds me of the plot of “China town”
Whether you like Trump or not. Despite being one of these ultra wealthy. He managed to make all the other ultra wealthy hate him.
And they send all that water from Northern California to water Southern California lawns.
As an appetizer, we can have the skinny, smug reporters and advertisers. Dunk them in their own shrimp dip and serve with alcohol. Bankers and politicians can be the main course, and neo-cons and ngos can be the second course. Hollywood will serve as dessert.
I 100% belive democrats are a plague on the country that only destroy what they touch. There good intentioned usualy. But there acrions speak far louder then there words
California deserves everything it gets.
We build pipelines for fuel from Texas to everywhere. We need to move water east and west with additional pipelines along those same paths. Cisterns everywhere to store the water and replenish the groundwater.
We fracked for years and no earthquakes
Well that’s it
Mulholland's demise was when the San Francisquito damn broke.
As a Central Valley farmer I love this discussion. We actually had to sell one of our farms because of water subsidence in the surrounding areas and the likelihood that it would be of no value in the near future should they no longer allow you to pump water or restrict it as talks are going. It’s sad because California really is the bread basket of the world. Politics and politicians are ruining all of it. Just for farmers to meet all the “environmental” regulations in our state puts farmers out of business. We spend thousands of dollars annually to meet these standards which require educated people to tell you how you should use it.
We have a dairy farm that runs so much like a well oiled machine. All of the cows waste is reincorporated into the soil that provides the crops that they eat and farms have always cared not just for the animals well being but the land and soil itself. It’s part of our livelihood we cannot survive if the business side doesn’t. If politicians stayed out of it farmers know and make the best decisions for their land and animals.
It's fine, California will just go thirsty so Vegas can have a water fountain at a casino.
The state has plenty of water and resources, they just have too many people wanting them.
How do you turn red counties blue? Push liberal city-dwellers into the surrounding counties/suburbs .
How do you change a red state blue? Push blue state liberals into the red states.
It’s a long-term plan for national destruction and, ultimately, total control.
With everything that the elites are doing, it makes me wish we had a world like Assassin's Creed. Where you at people who are trying to control everything and you have those who fight against them.

Tim …AFFECT? Or EFFECT?
Is SOCAL still growing rice and almonds in the desert?
Yeah we have empty lakes, another record breaking wildfire, drying up wells, and "public safety power outages" that sometimes last weeks. Of course none of this is going to be fixed because they're all politically convenient problems. Drives conservatives out of the state, lets them point to climate change, and our politicians get to soak up those sweet sweet disaster funds. What's not to love? Every year around this time our hotels are flooded with out of state firefighters and land managers. They all say the same thing: "You need to manage your forests and divert more water." I live near some of the largest dams, and my well is running dry. You know who has water? L.A., San Francisco, Sacramento. Where does the water come from? Right here. God I hope we can elect Larry Elder.
So this so called water shortage can’t be taken care by desalination from sea water? What’s the problem can’t they make it rain like they say they are doing in Dubai what the hell is wrong with people that they accept such lies and just suffer from them?
