Pretty amazing how one very wet year can erase decades of drought. Makes me think we need more reservoirs to hold all that water they are releasing. Stock up in the fat years to survive in the lean years.
It’s California, they had at least one that’s would be the like 5th largest in the state proposed maybe decades ago but they didn’t want to because it will effect the wildlife and landscape. I think I remember that I heard that They also could’ve eased a giant flood earlier but they didn’t want to fill up a few reservoirs to the top just in case they get That’s also why they don’t do enough stuff to attempt to fill the aquifers, now that they have too much rain. I also think that I saw that they should be allowing the forest fires to burn a lot longer and not waste water because they’ve had massive wildfires almost every year in the history of California and that they always burn out on their own and they replant themselves naturally, and by not letting them burn out there’s more places for trees to burn.
@@jakeg3126 Classic case of "the inmates running the asylum". The environmentalists what to save everything except humans. I was born in California, but I could never live there again. Thanks for the video!
Awesome video, but Question here but isn’t it best that not only to save this lake water and the forests that we stop fighting wildfires and just steer them away from people? Before we ever settled in California, there have always been wildfires or maybe massive wildfires on probably a yearly basis and they always burn themselves out. Then the forest naturally replants itself so younger trees and bushes come up and they suck up less water because of smaller roots. Now we just waste probably billions of gallons of water on lots of forest fires that will naturally burn themselves out eventually. Also the trees we save are much larger so they have more and much larger roots that suck more water up and they will be more likely to burn again because they are bigger and more likely to dry up again? So all we should do is steer it away from cities or towns and just steer them elsewhere and let them burn themselves out like they naturally should, and then since they will they would be replanting themselves so less places to have forest fires. Just use less.
