They would rather 80% of the rainfall go back into the ocean than to resolve their own problems.
Being able to scream about how they don't have enough water plays into their climate change gambit.
The article in the OP is about the only one I have seen, not that I look for them, that blames explosive population growth in areas that cannot support it as the reason for the low levels in Meade and Powell.

Millions upon millions of gallons of freshwater per minute were re-salinated thanks to the corruption and ineptitude of Californian politicians. And millions more will be re-salinated this spring.

30% full.

That's what happens when growth can't sustain the water supply.
Yet desalination is mUh bAd.

a good majority of the country's produce is grown in cali, which means we'd essentially all be fricked if this is where that water goes to.
That could change really quickly but the USDA doesn't like it when food crops are grown in other regions with tons of fertile farmland. Mississippi and Arkansas both have the most fertile soil in the nation and combined have the same amount of farmland as big arse California. We could almost feed the nation on these two states alone, wouldn't need nearly as much irrigation because we have far more rain. But instead of us growing produce, we mainly grow soybeans, rice, corn, and cotton.

The Sierra Nevada snowpack, a major source of water for California, could largely disappear in 25 years if global warming continues unchecked, according to a recent study. (NBC)
Now don't you feel dumb.

I read an article about this the other day and it blamed the entire issue on climate change but then provided no supporting evidence that the influx of water into the reservoirs has naturally declined.

All that damn rain in California went right into the Pacific Ocean as fast as it fell ?? idiots
This is a big problem out there. Those cities are designed to drain rain water as fast as possible into the ocean. No thought has ever been given to capturing some of that water for use.

Yes we have all been told snow in the mountains would cease to exist. I follow winter mountain sports and every outdoor publication out there has articles about winter mountain sports disappearing in our lifetime.

No, that water could’ve been captured to replenish these lakes.
Rain in coastal California could have been moved across mountain ranges to replenish lakes.
Okay.
