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.
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.

Almonds require a phenomenal amount of water! Almond milk should not even be a product.
There is no almond tittie.
