Waiting to hear about the higher rates to construct more storage facilities

You reap what you sow....

Yeah...enjoy your food, the rest of America

:good posting:I don't get "I hope California disappears" guy

California grows ALL of the food for the rest of America? I never knew that.

If only California bordered an ocean they could then get the water from there.

"California is the nations most productive agricultural state, and is home to a $35 billion agricultural industry. Of the ten most productive agricultural counties in the United States, nine are in California, and the San Joaquin Valley is the single richest agricultural region in the world. California produces more than 400 commodities. It is the nations sole producer of a dozen crops, including almonds, artichokes, olives, raisins, and walnuts, and is the leading producer of five dozen more. The state employs 27 percent of the nation's farm workers, and produces nearly half domestically grown fruits, nuts, and vegetables. Almost 22 percent of the nations milk and cream is produced in California, and the state is by far the nations largest producer of dairy products. "

No one has argued against California's unsurpassed ability to produce fruits and nuts.

Yeah, same thing happened around here. People were told to stop watering lawns, all of a sudden massive budget shortfalls and all the water towers filled up and they begged people to water, right after we got a bunch of rain.

It's not a problem with conservation as much as cities shouldn't be using water as a profit center.

On the properties I manage in Bakersfield the city has added a "drought surcharge" to the water bill- based on usage but incremental increases after you reach a certain level.

It wasn't a problem until this month- we had a water leak on the property. The regular amount billed went from a normal $200 per month average to $450 for October. However, the drought surcharge went from an additional $50 per month average to $800 for October, because we went past a certain plateau. And to make matters worse, I'm still looking for the leak- my plumber hasn't found it yet.

What part of town? Commercial or residential?

Commercial. It's on Ming and Stine- retail stores attached to a Home Depot. You know it?

Of course. That's the Home Depot I go to.

Yup. We've been connected to the property all the way back to that. It was also a Builder's Square for a while (K-Mart) and then empty for years.

@ drought surcharge.

Not really that funny when you have to pay it, guy.

 

[Riversco]

CA planning on actually, ya know, storing any of this rain water rather than letting it all run off into the ocean?

A lot of rain won't fix the problem. What we need is a lot of snow on the mountains. The snowpack up there is critical water storage. Its a great way to store tons of water for SoCal. The snowpacks are severely low which stresses the rest of the system.

 

[dickey moe]

+5000 for the Zody's reference

Used to be a joke back in grade school:

"Yo momma bought your shoes at Zody's and you had to walk out their door like this [hopping because the shoestrings were always tied together]

Seems we did get a decent amount in the mountains here today. At least that was good. Doing massive last minute shopping in pouring rain, not good.

What happens when California secedes from the Union? Do they invade Colorado (or wherever they are currently stealing said water)?

 

[Aerial Assault]

We still have water.

I pee in the Colorado river from time to time.

 

[Osaurus]

I was driving back from south of Hoover Dam (kayaked on the Colorado) to Vegas.  I had a couple of half empty water bottles with me.  I was seriously tempted to empty them in Lake Mead.

I guess Trump has added the FFA as one of his sources for news.
 

Donald J. Trump‏  @realDonaldTrump

Governor Jerry Brown must allow the Free Flow of the vast amounts of water coming from the North and foolishly being diverted into the Pacific Ocean. Can be used for fires, farming and everything else. Think of California with plenty of Water - Nice! Fast Federal govt. approvals.

We've been invading Colorado for awhile now. A "Trojan Horse" if you will? 

No, more like the damn plague.
