That's about the same thing I saw last October when I went across the
bridge over Lake Shasta. 75-100' low, I'd guess.

What I don't understand is why 'they' allow so many ORCHARDS to die
while allowing all the idiots growing the water-hungry RICE to thrive.
Rice can go a year without being planted/watered. TREES can't. I saw
half a dozen 5-100 acre orchards all dead on my last drive through
NorCal. It made me sick, then angry when I saw the flooded rice
paddies. Where is their sense of honor and value?
