MAJOR CONCERN to this local:
NO ONE has estimated the water storage requirements to keep local HUMANs alive. State water boards have not listened to the local water agencies, and certainly have NOT done calculations to ensure some RESERVE for LOCAL Humans is set ASIDE!!!
Comment on WATER STORAGE: reservoirs do have water belonging to certain local districts. HOWEVER, our guv is pushing for the state water board to have the power to FORCE local districts to CONSOLIDATE. How's that for usurping power!!
Comment on water tanks: order online from www.beprepared.com. This is Emergency Essentials located in Utah. They offer the best prices and service, and fast delivery. Customer service is excellent. Buy direct. Be sure your water storage for drinking water is a safe plastic, and comes with the equipment to pull water out the top of the barrel.
Comment on USBR: if Reclamation has a barge with eleven pumps to raise the bottom water up to the water intake in Folsom Reservoir, they know dry times are ahead.
Comment on federally built Folsom Reservoir: it was built primarily with federal $$$ for the purpose of FLOOD control. It is TIME to ask our Congressmen to demand the feds CALCULATE our local survival water needs in a drought. If the Pacific Ocean continues to warm, our future may be like our today.
Comment on over-building and state water board (and guv) REFUSING to institute a moratorium on NEW Zoning Entitlements where there is NO water supply known to exist: Yes, Virginia, there is no snow and little prospect for the good old days when the mountain ranges had lots of it. Desalinate the ocean or go dry.........
Last thought: has anyone thought about lack of water for flushing? The hell with green lawns in Socal.
