Gavin Newsom Get out of the way!

Here is an example of what President Trump's EO on water will address. Today we had 89% of the water inflowing into and passing through the Delta, continue until it exited the conveyance into the ocean. 11% of inflow was collected through pumping and saved in storage. In other words, 21,000 cfs was allowed to reach the sea and is now unusable saltwater, while 4,200 cfs was saved. This SHOULD BE 21,000 cfs saved, and 4,200 cfs used for outflow. This is happening because phantom smelt nobody can find, could be migrating. Trump's Order will focus on updates to the Biological Opinions that allow this waste. Capturing this excess water will bring water abundance to all water project users north and south of the Delta.

I think there are people in the delta that want the flow of fresh water to continue so that salt water doesn’t come further into the delta. There are people on here that might know more about this.

I wonder how the water stuff will effect the government reach for rural areas? They were pushing to meter private wells, and even messing with some of the ranchers about their own use...asking for estimates and stuff, which seemed a bad warning sign.

We’re on a well and the amount of electricity it takes to get the water out of the ground is more expensive than having water delivered to our previous house.

Have just enough water flow out so it doesnt bring in more saltwater. Its should be that simple

Well said.

Defund the CBD!!!

Trump Invokes Authoritarian Powers on Day One to Gut Environmental Protections

Center for Biological Diversity: WASHINGTON— President Trump ordered federal agencies today to begin unlawfully gutting protections for the climate, clean air and water, and public lands. Following through on his threat to act like a dictator “on day one,” Trump also ordered a massive expansion...

Commiefornia here you come!

Let fresh water run to the ocean then declare a drought due to climate change.

Ive always thought something smelt fishy

Commiefornia here you come!

Wasn't state people sending letters, it was the Feds. Agenda 33 ⅓ stuff or something.

There is a minimum amount of flow that is necessary to keep salt water intrusion from happening…. They problem is our managers go above and beyond and release a lot more than what is necessary and lots of wasted water goes out to sea, which becomes useless.

I dont know what that number is but the 7200 cfs being retained is about the natural Colorado river flow.

The 21000 cfs just being flushed out to sea is 3 Colorado rivers.

Think about how many states use the Colorado river. Triple the colorado river is the potential available for use, assuming other posts have the number correct

If California needs disaster funding make Newsom, Bass, and all the other DEI hires that were supposed to pre plan for an event like this resign with no benefits or try their luck defending themselves at a trial.

Not related to water, but last night the HB council voted to become a non-sanctuary city. They've consistently shown they care about their citizens instead of pandering to the left.

California enclave declares itself a 'non-sanctuary' city, will work with immigration officials, Trump admin

Lawmakers in Huntington Beach, California, voted Tuesday to become a "non-sanctuary" city in defiance of the state's sanctuary state law.

The salt water was creeping up to the 12 to the Rio vista bridge
We usually stay up at iselton at vieras
Before we had all that rain the last two years
Up by vieras resort water still was fresh
But any where lower water was brackish

They want to build tunnels up by walnut grove to divert water .
But most people up north are way against it .

Lots of signs “ saying no to tunnels “

Outflow to prevent saltwater intrusion from the ocean into the Delta is always the number one consideration. The drinking and irrigation water the Delta provides has never become ruined from salt on account of prevention being a priority. The amount of outflow necessary to achieve this is not exact number because affecting factors, such as wind, high and low tides, etc. are variable. Recently less than 2,200 cubic feet per second (4,400 acre feet per 24 hour period) has been enough to get the job done. But let's give bureaucrats the benefit of the doubt and pretend it takes 5,000 acre feet of daily outflow to beat back the salt. At that rate, 150,000 acre feet of Delta discharges in a month would do the job and then some.

What actually free flowed to the sea was 211,636 acre feet of fresh water. Of that, at least 61,636 acre feet (20,084,152,236 gallons) could have been captured into storage, but wasn't. That is enough water to meet the needs of 616,360 people for an entire year. In a very dry November, when lack of water is on the lips and minds of everyone, over 20 billion gallons of freshwater was intentionally allowed to become unusable saltwater instead. As much water as this is, it is actually a lot less than last month where ten times that amount was wasted, and in other wet months where we lost a year's supply of water for 30,000,000 people in just 24 hours. #ManMadeWaterShortage
