They have been doing it for a long time. They release 10 billion gallons of water daily into the Sacramento Delta to protect a little fish called the Delta Smelt, which is supposedly endangered. About 3 months ago they had to let even more water into the Sacramento Delta because of extremely high tides. The State Water Agency was afraid that salt water from the ocean would flow into the bay and cause issues with the 'fragile' Delta life. In 2017 CA had the 2nd highest rainfall in history. If they had constructed any reservoirs they could have stored enough water for 5 years. But the environmental wackos stop all reservoir construction. Their goal is to remove all reservoirs.
Agreed. If they would just stop dumping water for the Delta Smelt, there would be ample supply to weather a drought. I worked for Los Angeles Dept. of Water and Power for 36 yrs, and we constantly went through this drought threat because the State Water Board is so inept at managing the water supply. I'm in Tennessee now, and there is plenty of water.
So they purposely did that? Is Gateway Pundit sattire?
