Dramatic photos show how storms filled California reservoirs 

m^3?

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Prime example of uninformed newscasters. Wonder what else they say to misinform. Don’t believe everything they say.

an acre foot is ~300k gallons

@@NubRusty what is an acre of feet?

Yes, very astounding.

Lake Oroville

Thank you anthropogenicglobalwarming! WooHoo

"WOW !! The reservoirs are full, so now we can WASTE plenty of water"

​@@paullake1114 golf courses, lawns and swimming pools

Now FLUSH those toilets.

Yall are t totally fd. You chose to build metropolises in the friggin desert by stealing water from others.

They won't. They will squander it, then cry about it the next drought.

So I guess California is no longer in a drought

​@@jdos5643I guess that a drought can also happen when it's rains a lot just few times in a year but most of the water runs off.

@@imtheeastgermanguy5431 but apparently it rained so much last year into this year that the dams canals and reservoirs were filled up to the brink. There was flooding in some areas also. Not to mention Death Valley getting water. So we can consider the possibility of being blessed. There are many places in the world that don’t get a drop of water. Dry hot places like many parts of Africa. But water is life.

@@jdos5643 I agree with you. If you have water now you should try to do everything that water can soak in the soil and only come out again through plants and trees or goes underground into the ground water level. That works in already dry areas as well so it should be like walking in the park for the rest of the world. It would also create a better foundation for organic agriculture and again a solid base for a good business. clean, green, reasonable prices and substantial. Also in California it properly could help to fight back the drought and the horrible fire. Yes water is life and a human right but water is useless when it doesn't go into us through nature 🌍🛠️😎🍚

I have no idea where lake Oroville is but I am so glad to hear that.

@@anacletwilliams8315 It's like an hour drive north of Sacramento. One of the largest in the state. It was looking seriously sad five years ago.

You are talking about california. No chance of common sense practices happening in that state

@@davidreed3357Facts.

California: the state that uses common sense in all the ways that don't matter, and none of the ways that do.

@@davidreed3357And yet California has the strongest economy in the US, one of the top 3 in education and lowest unemployment. Maybe stay off Fox News?

@@str8ballinSA maybe find some current news. Roflmfao

Don't worry, the environmentalists will lobby that the fish need more water and force California to drain down the reservoirs to help the fish, then, when next winter only has the normal amount of precipitation, they will declare a drought again as the reservoir are again low.

Yes but don't rest on your laurels. God has not given America a free pass; only a reprieve. If nothing is done to prepare for the next extreme weather crisis, shame on you.

@@meilinchan7314 California hasn't started a single major water works project in the last 50 years yet their population has grown a lot. Why is it surprising to anyone that they don't have enough water? People want to solve the water issues but environmentalist won't allow any projects that would actually improve the situation.

@@TheDogGoesWoof69 Wow, someone is keeping racism alive. I guarantee the farmers use the most water but they kinda have to. You want food, they have got to grow it. So you want to be able to eat but you don't want farmers to get more water than you.

@@TheDogGoesWoof69 How about equal distribution for all. Why does skin color matter? If every person is allocated 250 gallons per day, why are you bringing the amount of melanin in a person's skin into play.

Yeah! Unbelievable!

Haha - we all learned this basic premise as toddlers during our bath times...

Climate change!

Whats even harder to believe is anyone listens to those yahoos anymore after how wrong they've been every single time.

climate is changing , it's not a matter of years , but it's changing , what ever you say or beleive , stay tune ....

The system skipped over normal rainfall into monsoons. Expect the drought to come back in a year or two.

You are a zero content troll!

Mother nature and God are in charge

They do exactly what you wrote it's called Aquifer recharge (AR) and aquifer storage and recovery (ASR)

​@@drscopeifywhere? I know UT does, but cali?

Silly Rabat...

Corn Pop... where's the rest of the Pops??

Corn Pop - I’ve heard that you’re a bad dude.

It's going to be the politicians, not the weather, that dooms California...

That's what you get when you live in a desert.

Certain areas are but the Colorado River going through needles ca was low last week

Colorado river gets its water from a totally different water shed. East of the mountains, hopefully snow pack will help

So California can steal all that water too?

It should be. CO has seen massive amounts of snowfall this year.

Your sentiment involves people, and unfortunately, "people" aren't worth all the Hope's or prayers. I honestly don't have much faith in our species.

​@@St.Linguini_of_Pesto I wish the cockroachs better luck.

lets hope the government does not drain them again to increase prices oh i mean to save a fish...

With Thanks & Gratitude to you....:)

Yes, we do.

technically California was more of a wet lands marsh type until we drained the central valley. Ca once had the largest fresh water lake west of the Mississippi but the government got involved

@@timg2973 too many people moved in compared to the water supply that's why lake Meade and the hoover damn was built yet they drained it

The majority of the water is used for agriculture, and the majority of that water is used to grow hay and alfalfa, and we feed much of that to animals we are going to slaughter and eat. It can be argued that it is the meat industry and all the carnivores that have created this problem.

@@stephencampbell2018 did I .. did I find the vegan?

Look, a Doomer.

But people think that THEY are watching a 10,000,000+ yr old planets climate change in THEIR lifetimes..silly humans

yeah, but climate change amplifies the dry spells and wet spells

yep true. And those cycles are changing pretty dramatically with the huge surge in CO2 over the last couple centuries, or maybe you hadnt noticed

Some folks blame climate change, but I’m not one of those folks

Yeah, it's almost as if climate change zealots and rabid environmentalists don't know what they hell they're talking about. Imagine that.

Keep in mind that more water means more people. The scarcity of water is a reason why cities in California don't allow massive new construction; and water isn't the only thing that makes California a difficult place to afford.

I guess you didn't watch this video

Maybe because the accepted view is that global warming and reduction in water supply is the reality. They didn't think they'd ever see much water again.

then the government poisons it.

=AND THAT'S *TERRIBLE* =!!!!! =.............................

Rich assholes and corporations were hoarding and wasting water during the worst of the drought, you think they're going to pull a 180 and start being responsible now?

That’s why I hate California, not for the usual reasons, but there are so many issues that could easily be resolved with fairly simple actions from its government, including water usage.

[2:255] Allah! There is no God save Him, the Alive, the Eternal. Neither slumber nor sleep overtaketh Him. Unto Him belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth. Who is he that intercedeth with Him save by His leave ? He knoweth that which is in front of them and that which is behind them, while they encompass nothing of His knowledge save what He will. His throne includeth the heavens and the earth, and He is never weary of preserving them. He is the Sublime, the Tremendous. [24:35] Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The similitude of His light is as a niche wherein is a lamp. The lamp is in a glass. The glass is as it were a shining star. (This lamp is) kindled from a blessed tree, an olive neither of the East nor of the West, whose oil would almost glow forth (of itself) though no fire touched it. Light upon light. Allah guideth unto His light whom He will. And Allah speaketh to mankind in allegories, for Allah is Knower of all things. [39:62] Allah is Creator of all things, and He is Guardian over all things. [39:63] His are the keys of the heavens and the earth, and they who disbelieve the revelations of Allah - such are they who are the losers. [39:64] Say (O Muhammad, to the disbelievers): Do ye bid me serve other than Allah ? O ye fools! [39:65] And verily it hath been revealed unto thee as unto those before thee (saying): If thou ascribe a partner to Allah thy work will fail and thou indeed wilt be among the losers. [39:66] Nay, but Allah must thou serve, and be among the thankful! [39:67] And they esteem not Allah as He hath the right to be esteemed, when the whole earth is His handful on the Day of Resurrection, and the heavens are rolled in His right hand. Glorified is He and High Exalted from all that they ascribe as partner (unto Him). [39:68] And the trumpet is blown, and all who are in the heavens and all who are in the earth swoon away, save him whom Allah willeth. Then it is blown a second time, and behold them standing waiting! [39:69] And the earth shineth with the light of her Lord, and the Book is set up, and the prophets and the witnesses are brought, and it is judged between them with truth, and they are not wronged. [39:70] And each soul is paid in full for what it did. And He is Best Aware of what they do. [39:71] And those who disbelieve are driven unto hell in troops till, when they reach it and the gates thereof are opened, and the warders thereof say unto them: Came there not unto you messengers of your own, reciting unto you the revelations of your Lord and warning you of the meeting of this your Day ? they say: Yea, verily. But the word of doom of disbelievers is fulfilled. [39:72] It is said (unto them): Enter ye the gates of hell to dwell therein. Thus hapless is the journey’s end of the scorners. [39:73] And those who keep their duty to their Lord are driven unto the Garden in troops till, when they reach it, and the gates thereof are opened, and the warders thereof say unto them: Peace be unto you! Ye are good, so enter ye (the Garden of delight), to dwell therein; [39:74] They say: Praise be to Allah, Who hath fulfilled His promise unto us and hath made us inherit the land, sojourning in the Garden where we will! So bounteous is the wage of workers. [39:75] And thou (O Muhammad) seest the angels thronging round the Throne, hymning the praises of their Lord. And they are judged aright. And it is said: Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds! [59:22] He is Allah, than Whom there is no other God, the Knower of the Invisible and the Visible. He is the Beneficent, Merciful. [59:23] He is Allah, than Whom there is no other God, the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One, Peace, the Keeper of Faith, the Guardian, the Majestic, the Compeller, the Superb. Glorified be Allah from all that they ascribe as partner (unto Him). [59:24] He is Allah, the Creator, the Shaper out of naught, the Fashioner. His are the most beautiful names. All that is in the heavens and the earth glorifieth Him, and He is the Mighty, the Wise.

Droughts are cyclical. Water shortages are created by liberal politicians and their environmental activist masters. For example, environmentalists are aggressively trying to prevent the construction of the Sites Reservoir.

Define waste

@@pabloyescobar334 I mean…AG uses the overwhelming majority of water in the state. And the top 5 AG companies in California are: -Bayer chemicals and pesticides -Monsanto chemicals and pesticides -Wilbur Ellis Chemicals and pesticides -Del Monte -Monster Energy Soooo…I’ll take the tomatoes. I’d call the rest “waste”.

@@pabloyescobar334 allowing the water to run straight out to sea.

@@sendthis9480 that's being intellectually, and factually dishonest. Bayer is not an AG company...neither is Monsanto or monster energy. they are chemical companies, manufacturing products used by the ag industry. Del Monte is the only Ag company, and they are owned by a large conglomerate now. Here are the largest Ag companies...#1. Dole Foods · #2. Foster Farms · #3. Wilbur-Ellis Co. · #4. JD Heiskell & Company · #5. Hilmar Cheese ·

I think they know that? They’re just shocked at the difference in water levels before and after.

He sent too much to Pakistan and drowned a lot of people 🙄

One snowy season is not enough to fill years of drought, hopefully a few more very snowy seasons will fill them to the brim again.

The army core of engineers will keep them low on purpose, blue states can't afford to not have a crisis.

Hopefully the water stored in the high elevation snowpack will completely fill the reservoirs And hopefully the state does not squander this bounty

No more death

@@KarlenBell no more valley

I feel like you might be on to something 🤔🤔

What if a frog had wings ?

@@FuckOffShitTube001 it doesn't?

Perfectly said friend.

They're in the process of building multiple new reservoirs.

I’m no expert but that may mean an increase in the weight of water the dams have to hold back?

@@Oligodendrocyte139 he’s only using his 5th grade brain

​@@Oligodendrocyte139no, the pressure is only given by the water-height vs the dam, not the volume.

@@martin096 name one

@@jmpoulsen1 My Physics was never great so I’ll take your word for it but it seems counterintuitive that a dam whose base is level with a flat reservoir floor experiences the same pressure as one of the same height but the reservoir floor slopes away from the wall. I’d have thought that the water pressure in the deeper parts would exert some back pressure on the wall. I feel an experiment coming on 😀

That might solve problems...they can't be doing that!

If only you had a clue about engineering!

There is a new reservoir being built through too late for this season, and they are raising the height of a few dams...again too late.

You can bet pg&e is going to produce another record breaking fuck up them and caltrans to make new roads or highspeed railway yet they still can't fix the roads or actually work

California used to be cool til all the techies came and pushed natives out and made it over priced and super restricted

cali was cool in the 90s and before.... now its a giant scum hole, and honestly what ever craps going on in is the residents own doing

Beautiful land and state but a dumpster fire from a government standpoint.

The more rain they get the more green plant life that dries out and burns from fires. The fires are historically worse after they get a lot of rain.

...for bottled water?

randym1• You still don't understand, do you? It is not at all about being "impressionable and fearful". It is all about money!🥴 If I can maintain the illusion of the water scarcity then I can increase the price of water continuously. Why do you think that more water storage capacity, reservoirs, etc are not built in, for example, California?🤔 Be smart!🥴

Belief in conspiracy theories is a sign of extreme gullibility. FYI.

Haha ok boomer

How is the weather in Haterville? TROLL

Yes, burning millions of tons of fossil fuels modifying the weather is real AF!

Humans haven't evolved to change weather yet.

We can move the jet stream?

@@kingssuck06 yes they can manipulate it.

@@redlightrunner930 I heard China launched a bunch of weather balloons with table fans strapped to them in order to change it permanently. Worked a charm.

Exactly!! Hope it’s a slow melt and not a drastic melt!

Then the water, without being asked, filled up those big dry holes.

@@oldbatwit5102 Majestic.

Researchers are eyeing unusually warm water in the north Pacific, which may have had a hand in this year’s storminess by disrupting established climate patterns or pumping more moisture into the atmosphere. Simply put, the climate warms has more energy for storms to develop, creating new extremes.”
