These same big patches of brown in my undies are called skidmarks.

Something is very, very wrong. California doing common-sense stuff that actually works?
There has to be a caveat.........like did they agree to build an open-face nuclear reactor for the homeless to stay warm and maintain?

Yes it could except for the fact that typically if you dig down one inch around here, you hit water. Our sponge is too wet.

It’s the kind of extreme rainfall that’ll get ever more extreme as the planet warms.
I bet the solution just so happens to be giving democrats more power!

Love all the rain we've been getting. This pic is from last March but I'm sure it's going to look the same after all this moisture comes through...

With traditional dams and all that newfangled spongy infrastructure, between February 4 and 7 the metropolis captured 8.6 billion gallons of stormwater, enough to provide water to 106,000 households for a year. For the rainy season in total, LA has accumulated 14.7 billion gallons.

I've always been obsessed with "sponge" infrastructure. Could something like this work here? I know New Orleans had a similar plan for this but it pretty much hit a brick wall after Teedy got elected.
Not true.
Teedy has been sponging off NOLA taxpayers with those 1st class international travel junkets.

Actually as much as it pains me I’m going to defend latoya here.
She’s done a couple of these stormwater retention projects and they’ve been really positive.
Huge price tag though so not sure we’ll see a ton going forward.

I misspoke, not necessarily "sponge" but being able to retain water and slow down subsiding.

Long Island, NY has a problem with salt water intrusion due to pumping so much fresh water out. A lot catchments were created that were just shallow holes in the ground usually of an acre or two.
