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


But not nearly enough, as is well evident.


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


Including over 12 Million illegal aliens.


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


California is a desert state. Everyone has known that from the start.
But now, Nevada and Arizona are claiming their share of the Colorado
water, and it's coming to haunt CA. Or at least HelL.A.tians.


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


I vote for breadbasket, please. I like cheap CA foods and veggies.
I can do without the crappy Calrose rice, though. Icky!
