OT: OFF TOPIC Does Lake Mead fill up again?

Don’t worry about the crappie, Tripoda. California just saved a billion smelt. Of course, it’s a war zone with billions of damage and lost human lives, but at least there are delicious smelt.

They can’t drain it to keep it at an optimal level? It’s all or nothing? Flooding or bone dry?

There are 16 rivers between San Francisco and the Oregon border that empty into the pacific. They account for 40% of the total runoff of California Mountains. They would need to be dammed to divert a portion of their water South. There are several problems with this. The terrain of these rivers would be difficult and expensive to dam but not impossible. Damming the rivers would make life difficult for Salmon and white water rafting. Environmentalists are in favor of dismantling dams/ not making new ones and the local residents of NorCal are generally against anything in their territory helping the rest of the state.

It's much easier to take water from Lake Mead.

The problemo is that fire season and rain season seem to somehow crash together in CA. Even though we got no rain in last year lol.

It's not always 'mismanagement' when shit happens out of the ordinary.

65 feet below my land under Pahrump, there’s water.

I need some investors to start my non illegal drug tiny home commune.
