Notice the periods OF the flood years here..and the times between
them...

With floods that predictable, my question is: "Why hasn't anyone built
100+ reservoirs to catch it all every 14-24 years?" Hmm...


We have a ****load of reservoirs.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of..._in_California

Some 1400 of them

We also have a ****load of people. Until recently..more and more were
moving in each and every day.

Its a huge, wide open state with land for everybody. However there
isn't enough water for everybody..and that is the problem.

We can either be the nations breadbasket..OR we can be the nations
bedroom community..but we cant be both.
