Agreed. You? Pay for the aquifer and the metered gate and We? Will gladly except those billion$. However I’m not sure this fits into @CirrhosisDawg s California at all.RaceBannon said:HRYK
And Oregon and Washington run off too
Rome did a couple centuries ago. Not that hard if you aren't wasting billions on a train from Fresno to Bakersfield -

Welp the Carr Fire ran right through Lake Shasta, so water supply isn’t the issue here. It’s mismanagement of forests more than anything. Eventually all of the neglected forests will burn.YellowSnow said:I'm confused. Are the fire fighters running out of water in S Cal when dealing with these fires?
Hell hath no furry like So Cal fire season which will always happen when you have heat, fuel and wind. Don't see what water coming from North to South has to do with it. Both of my childhood homes came with in a c hair of burning to the ground in the 2003 and 2007 Cedar and Witch Fires.
@RaceBannon is right about Washington/Oregon water going to CA at some point. It's inevitable. -

You know better how to manage a forest than mother nature too. I see.salemcoog said:

Mother nature’s forest management consists of periodic fires that keep the underbrush down and prevents the build up of a fuel load.

No. No one does. And it didn’t really matter until people moved close to forests and then of course utilized them to build our country. After the Tillamook burn, the West realized that clear cutting alone wouldn’t prevent a big fire from forming. They realized you had to thin the forests and the ground clutter. But then in the 90s people that had no clue as to how to manage a forest locked the gates. Couple that with sustained above average heat and no humidity every Summer now, in the West, this is the new normal. Unless we spend the scratch to unlock the gates, eventually every neglected forest area will burn up in the West.2001400ex said:
