(N.Morgan) In the face of a devastating drought, the state of California has decided to cut the water off from the reserve this spring. This is the first time in 54 years that the State Water Project, will not provide water to millions of urban residents.

 

 

The announcement does not mean that communities will have no water this summer. But it does mean that every region is largely on its own now and will have to rely on water stored in local reservoirs, pumped from underground wells, recycled water and conservation to satisfy demand.

 Here’s a few examples:

  • San Francisco: This was the first January in recorded history with less than a quarter inch of rain. Through Jan. 30, the city had just one-hundredth of an inch of rain.

  • Los Angeles: No measurable rain fell in Los Angeles during January for only the fifth time since 1878.

  • Redding, Sacramento, Stockton: All recorded their third driest January.

Gov. Jerry Brown has declared a drought emergency and urged all Californians to cut water use by 20%. The state has identified 17 communities in Central and Northern California that could run out of water in the next couple of months. To learn on the most effect ways to conserve water, visit this site and stock up on water if your community is going to be affected.

  • Used to go fishing on Shasta Reservoir and was quite stunned at how low the water level is right now! Usually went to Antlers, CA, where a boat ramp was located to get into Shasta but, the end of the boat ramp, which is very long, is about 150 yards AWAY from the water line. Can’t even launch a boat there! All the places where we used to fish are now dry land!

  • On another subject concerning water, saw a report given by a fellow who worked for the State of CA and he was talking about the rising sea levels in the SF Bay area. He showed before and after pictures and they showed significant sea level rises along residential areas and levees. Have fished on the Sacramento Delta, Sacramento River, and on the Feather River numerous times. About five years ago noticed that the water flows in these rivers had slowed for some reason. Now I know why. Sea water is backing the flows up a bit. Never saw sea lions in the river when I first started fishing on the upper Sacramento/Feather rivers but, the last time I was fishing where the Sacramento and Feather rivers merge, back 5 or 6 years ago, saw sea lions all the time. Unusual.

    • Another thing that is happening is that sea water is invading the underground fresh water wells due to the extreme drought in the CA valley. Los Angeles is in extreme danger of running out of fresh water! Lake Mead, which provides water and power to the LA Basin and other areas is at record low levels.

    Conservation efforts are important although I wonder if every californian will abide? Just thinking about those big hollywood mansions…

  • I’m not sure why we give a crap?

  • Thank You Chemtrial
