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

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floods_in_California

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.


Define "enough"
This is year 14 of the drought as some people think it. Now all we
really need to do is get ride of 8 million illegals....


12+ million. Enough is having sufficient water to continue flowing
-during- those 14 years of drought.


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.


Estimated illegals in the US run between 20-30 Million


A more honest guess is 50M or more.


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.


Ayup. Everything south of Sacramento can indeed be considered desert.


The Mojave, the Sonoran, the Colorado, and the Great Basin deserts all
dwell there.
