They are already opening the dams and letting water out. Lake Shasta as well as other dams throughout the state are still well below limit and they are releasing water already. They claim it is to prevent another Oroville dam failure incident from happening. They haven't built a single dam in over 50 years and most of the ones in place were finished in the 70s. They'll claim another drought this year regardless of how much precipitation California gets.
As a lifelong resident that was my original thinking as well, but it was explained that California is beyond the point of being able to be saved due to the financial situation it has been driven into.
I’m not claiming that to be true or false, because obviously I have no way of determining that. I’m just passing on what we were told at the meeting.
Is there any connection between this and San Bernardino county voting to secede from California not too long ago?
Is there a rundown somewhere on how the split would work? I don't want to go through everything just to find that info. Like, geographically? Would it be on a per county basis as voted by the county, or would it be one connected land mass?
All fish and environmental issues aside, I believe it has more to do with the fact California water is controlled by private interest. Specifically a man named Stewart Resnick. He has California held hostage. If the state doesn't pay him, he waters his almonds and citrus orchards and cuts the flow to the everyone else. As an added bonus, cities and counties get fined if they don't pay him to put water into the rivers and streams for the fish.
I heard the claim for draining them was for "earthquake retrofitting and structural repairs." In 2020 though, many farmers had to close the doors on their farms and orchards because there wasn't enough water to grow anything. Interestingly enough, many of those farmers had tracts of land along the area the state is proposing building a high speed train line from Seattle to Los Angeles, which also just happened to be the same year there were historically massive fires. Some of the fires were linked to arson as well as linked to PG&E negligence. Gavin Newsom's wife is a part of PG&E's board membership.
Can confirm, working for USBR it’s a mystery why California and certain areas in the pacific midwest have continually been releasing water while intaking more from the Colorado river, we’ll over the limit between the agreement of the states of Arizona Nevada Colorado

I went to a meeting for New California last week, and, as expected, new dams/reservoirs is a key part of the 51st state.

I don't want California to split apart. I want to take the whole state back from the cabal.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat? Never even heard about this!

In the November election, San Bernardino County voted to leave California if necessary.
Found this, okay.. I think I can be part of it where I live. ; )

https://la.curbed.com/2016/8/10/12422000/resnick-wonderful-water-california-kern-drought An old article, but there are additional write ups about his strangle hold on the water resources of California. How he managed to aquire the tax funded water reserve is still questionable.
Almonds require a phenomenal amount of water! Almond milk should not even be a product.
There is no almond tittie.
If THEY can’t claim drought year after year, THEY will lose part of an identity.
