How Serious Is The California Drought?
A picture paints a thousand words... but these 3 before-and-after images in California (over a period of just 3 years) suggest only 3 words - "What a Disaster"

Its so bad its causing earthquakes...
Those lakes and rivers should pick a depth and stick to it. Doesn't nature realize that it is supposed to be a static and unchanging backdrop?
Watch for around 32,000,000 folks to start migrating east...
If you like your lake......fuck you!
So serious that it's been causing out of control inflation for decades, even before the drought started.
Aww, who am I kidding? It's under control.
Clearly Mother Nature is a terrorist and should be placed on the no fly list.
Speaking of which..
Now would be a good time for that nuclear false flag on Vegas before Mead dries up.
I'm sure Adelson has doubled his insurance already...
I know some people who paid an extra $180 grand on top of the house price for their waterfront property. Now, they have a wonderful view of the mud flats. On a 'good day' they may see some frogs.
Desalination plants powered by human hamster wheels. You can use all you produce for free at your residence.
The Californian drought isn't serious at all. Mother Earth is doing just fine. I'm tired of all the alarmists.
I'd give a few sleeves of maples for the minutes from that McCain meeting with his ISIS boyfriends...
Upwater storage is Lake Almanor of which my family owns one the olders cabins on the Lake (resevoir).
Storage is WAY above the big drought years (see graph!).
The LOWER resevoir, Oroville, the Durden Twins of LA have posted, doesn't mean shit.
Here is the official flows from (Lee Marvins) upwater.

They have learned to keep precious cold water HIGHER to allow the salmon fingerlings to hatch.
Nor Cal ain't out of water yet. The South Central Valley, So Cal (Jew Movie Landia) and Vegas Baby are!
Fuck off and pack a load!

If these are worse photos to sensationalise the topic, then you haven't a problem. I lived in Oz where lakes were dry for years. When I mean dry you could walk across the bottom and not get muddy shoes.
People need to learn ways to conserve, recycle, and do without!
Good time to get in there and check those structures and perform some maintenance, they look to new to be trusted in these troubling times.
"conserve, recycle, and do without" that doesn't sound very american
at least they should be able to do some good maintenance on those bridge supports, if not why not???
we can't buy enough water with food stamps, (oh excuse me SNAP) and then fill the lake back up. 46 million on food stamps, ten gallons each, maybe 460 million gallons can do something no
The Manufactured Drought Of California Via Geoengineering
Man, everyone is so negative. This ain't a problem; it's an opportunity (to do some near free maintenance on those bridge foundations, etc. Look at the bright side, Guys.
Are you suggesting the source of salt water would be the radioactive Pacific?
Maybe ab ebola false flag? It is natural and organic.
Talking about a complete waste of water, Vegas comes to mind.

Thanks for the Vegas False Flag link. It makes a good argument. Glad I don't live there, but I am downwind, so not good if they "pull it".

California Drought Amazing Satellite Fraud 8 14 14
By The HAARP Report
Published on Aug 14, 2014
This shows the REAL reason for the California drought (along with chemtrails, of course). It is AMAZING that hurricane Julio is still shown on the visible satellite, but it DOESN'T EXIST ANYMORE. The other three satellite images prove that it was destroyed by a HAARP downburst of dry air, on August 13, but on the next day, the visible satellite image is still showing it, like nothing happened.
The tropical depression Julio was killed before it could be pulled over to California, by the jetstream. This would have brought tons of rain to California, and Oregon, but it is now destroyed, so the California drought is extended another month.
The Gakona HAARP kills EVERY low pressure system, while it is still over the Pacific, before it can bring rain to the west coast. Several of my videos prove this is happening, so to hide the breakup of this strong tropical depression, they killed it when it was 2,000 miles from California.
It was killed, very suddenly, over a six hour period, for no apparent reason, while spinning over warm water, and no jetstream to tear it apart. To avoid the suspicion that HAARP did it, they decided to STILL show it on the satellite maps, even though it is GONE!!!
The people of California must start talking about who is buying up their private water rights. You will find many land owners have sold out, for large sums of money, and the people who bought those rights are the prime suspect in the man-made California drought.
A comment there: "CA is the salad bowl of the US and is NOT a GMO' ed state! Another reason for the drought effect by the mad scientists."
Doesn't anyone read the papers? The problem in California is 'white flight', as clearly depicted in this satellite photograph from an official site:
http://cdn.theatlantic.com/static/infocus/cadrought032714/s_c03_RTX17IKX...
If people would stop drinking the stuff we wouldn't have these problems.
The Feather can fill up in a heart beat. This is Nor Cal bitchez.
The snow will fly and the salmon will spawn, Nor Cal will make it...it's those idiots down south that won't make it.
Nor Cal will always thrive bitchez.
FYI Burning Man is on "mud hold" as it just poured all over the Northern Sierra.
"The snow will fly and the salmon will spawn, Nor Cal will make it...it's those idiots down south that won't make it."
Those idiots in SoCal will make it because they steal a good portion of NorCal's water.
Sacramento has two large rivers that flow through it but has the most draconian water restrictions in the State to keep most of the water flowing south.
yes.
UMMM, Sacramento residences don't even have fucking water meters. :P
I know I paid a flat rate of $52 a month when I lived there 20 years ago. Why would a meter be necessary when the city says what I should pay?
My Father managed the hydro at this lake for 40 years. This is NOT Lake Mead and never will be, get that shit straight. Oregon doesn't have a shed like this! The Feather will always re fill.
R u kidding? how can you be controlled if they don't have data on you. I hv 2 friggin meters, so they can keep track of my house and shop. I pay double meter fee.
San Francisco steals all of its water from the Hetch Hetchy. Absolutely destroying one of the greatest natural sites in the world.
SF has been stealin that water forever. The eco system has already adapted. Imagine the lunkers at the bottom of Hetch Hetchy if you could get a lure down there.
the un is telling ignorant detroiters water is a right and absolutely free and the obomaites have bit the hook. why are they so stupid?
Detroit and Chicago will sign a deal to sell great lakes water to California by way of the Great Obama Pipeline, paid for with government Obama bonds. Canada will sue and then agree that socialist redistribution applies to water as well as all other property.
3 winters ago I skied 15 feet of snow on July 5th. A drought in Nor Cal isn't teh same as a drought in So Cal. Granted the Central Valley goes offline the nation eats Chilean veggies year round. That said, Nor Cal will always be an oasis for the hunter/gatherer who can make his way. So Cal and Vegas Baby are a complete and seperate can of worms.
Amen. Water in the west is just another Government "solution"
Lake Shasta is as bad or worse but they keep releasing heavy for the smelt and salmon runs. If you go to Whiskeytown Lake its full to the brim.... Just saying maybe they shouldn't release so much. :P
I get a kick out of the californians telling us it's not that bad, overblown by press, etc.
Their fear is palpable.
Mr Yellen can just print water. Right?
Well she can print the money to buy the water from, uh... the chinese?
oh wait no they are already buying their water from us.
hmmm
Hey look over there! The Emmys!
I spent 45 years in So CA. So CA is a desert and yes of course there are droughts, it's a regular thing.
I'll consider thinking it's serious when gold courses turn brown and there's no longer any water in the swimming pools.
This is all about money.
I love it when morons say they lived somewhere a long time ago and assume nothing changed.
A lot of muni course closed or were sold to private companies because they couldn't afford the water. But yes -- nothing will be solved until people pay the actual cost of their water. It's all wasted because the subsidized prices are artificially low.
I they stopped drinking it from swimming pools, sprinkler systems, dishwashers, and washing machines they would probably be okay......but civilisations die out when the water evaporates
Folks in Cali need to just get smaller boats... it's all relative guys.
Oh, and isn't California basically a desert? Last time I lived there it was. What do you expect? Nothing to see here guys... move on.
California needs to pass a law mandating that it needs to rain more, should help.
California will soon run out of Nevada and Oregon's water too, 'cause we're all in it together right?
LoLd hard on that. so hard.
As a Left Coast resident my entire life, this isn't anything new. Those aren't really lakes, those are reservoirs. We have these things called "winter" and it drops a lot of snow. They fill up and slowly release the water all summer long and into the fall before they fill up again the next year.
They would be fuller, but the EPA mandates that we release more than we need to to help the various fish. If one isn't endangered, just give them time, they'll find one. At least they've given up the idea of making us tear the dams down. At least for now.
No snow.
Hasn't snowed for years. You said you were a local?
Dude, it snows. The resorts are doing OK. And when there isn't any or a lot of snow, they make it, which means they have water.
There's plenty of water. I turn on the tap, it flows. A drought is Mother Nature's way of reminding us to use resources wisely. The reservoirs are emptying because people insist on having lawns, the most useless vegetation ever cultivated by man. That's why we have parks: you want to walk in the grass? Go to the park. Otherwise, grow a garden.
-Chumbz.
You made it! (read: "you built that")
Had RECORD snow in 2011. It was over the tops of the trees. I couldn't MTB in Tahoe until almost August! This too will pass.
Socialism always works until you run out of other peoples'.....water
Cuz "government" is the word we use to describe the things we do together. :-)
Governator Brown just declared he's passed a budget amortizing the drought over the next 100 years so there's no current problem.
If they outlaw dry weather, only outlaws will have dry weather.
And the same is happening in Brazil "Rio Paraiba".
It's so bad that the barges in Sao Paulo can't move. Where the rive "Rio Paraiba" meets the ocean (north of Rio de Janeiro), the river is so weak, that the ocean is pushing up the river, thus the people can’t use its water because it is so salty.
My mother lives north of Rio, so she tells me these things.
She also told me that the local authorities are warning the people that the oil is not as much as they thought.
She then tells me that I am lucky because US has oil for 100 years.
I don’t know if I should laugh…. Or, if I should start crying!
Resturants are closing restrooms and using Port-A-Potties. Want water? Pay for it, 3 oz glass.
On the upshot, one can find great bargains on Seadoos and Waverunners
Also get to watch those hot Cali bikini babes sashay much farther to get to the water.
Ok, you must be stoned or haven't been to Cali in sometime. The plethora of bikini beach babes vanished quite awhile ago. Shamu is no longer confined to Sea World. Also, he has the sense not to wear a bikini 10 sizes too small.
Miffed;-)
Et tu Cali?
Because Tony Wilson on another thread....
http://youtu.be/b2yjhau66lM
That dude in the bikini can really get down.
Imagine your average Wally World shopper mostly nude and you'll get an accurate mental picture of the view on SoCal beaches.
And you probably just threw up in your mouth a little, didn't ya?
The hotties in bikinis are mostly on the coast, where water levels are rising, not falling.
The the ones that swim in the reservoirs may not b a cute, but they're way better at rigging trotlines.
That wiped that schadenfreude fucking smile right off of my face.
Tell them to go here.....http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-08-25/spotting-next-detroit-americas-...
Sign at state border: "Keep out. Do not Californicate our State!"
Nope. The USA will just amend their theme song of "What the Fuck are you doing sitting on our oil?" To include "What the fuck are you doing with OUR WATER? There you go Canada, you are even darker toast"
Hail Harper.
Harper Rulez!!!!
Our man.
Then Keyser, that 32 mil should read that other post today with the list of depopulating cities. Should be some room there...
Lordy ... please don't move. Stay put. It will surely start raining sooner than later.
Look for the movie of "The Wrath of Grapes" about workers at a now defunct California vineyard making their way to Oklahoma hoping for a new start. The natives are contemptuous of the "Calis" as they call them.
Fucktards will pick Texas to fuck up next. Mark my words.
They've fucked up Austin.
Nahh... watch the political class have the great lakes pumped west.
Great read, Cadillac desert-

Nothing's gooder than' wooder '[water]
California voted for this - TWICE! They need MORE illegal aliens. There are some good people in CA but most are lib scum.
Just like Europe, the South West is suffering the unforseen consequences of stealing other peoples land.
The Swiss don't seem to be suffering much from this.
California voted for ... no rain?
You're kinda baked, aren't you?
Repenting of sin and praying to the Lord for rain couldn't hurt.
Not to call BS, but I am going to go out on a limb and say the pics are either wrong with the dates or out right fakes. Please provide some real documented proof.
Keep up the chem-trailing. Everytime we had a low pressure front come through California last winter, they sprayed and we only got a trace of precipitation. Starve the serfs by depriving them of water. It's all a part of global depopulation plan by the elites. No food=starvation.
They must be working overtime there then. Has not been shit for chemtrailing here in the midwest and it's been much wetter than normal, at least here in my locale.
That's why when the Founding Fathers thought "but where do we put Hollywood?" they all agreed "in California."
Just read the minutes from that August gathering in Philadelphia in 1789..., everything anyone needs to know was decided then and there.
FYI. Hollywood was created by cheating scum trying to evade patent infringement lawsuits by Thomas Edison.
And we all know who runs hollywood...
ZH: whats up with the 'Date ARAB women' ads? C'mon, admit its a great joke. Can't be serious. Right?
It's all the comments about Russians, Arabs, Muslims, Chinese...etc and then all the talk about whoring, selling souls, fucking, etc....
Google Ads puts them two together and comes up with AnastasiaDate, Chinesewives.com, etc
Strange that there aren't more ads for dating Federal Reserve bankers......
I volunteer to lay the wood to Christina Kirchner, if it helps resolve the Argentine credit crisis. (It's strictly for the good of the world, see...)
I believe the ads are personalized by your browsing history. I don't see those. Clear your cache.
You win a prize. But its not just browsing. Could be emails, phone calls,etc. as well.
Google adblock pro...it works. It's free. And I don't have any ads.
I was going to say, what ads? I only wish I had ad block for Android...
AdAway
I have ad block pro, but I disabled it for this website ad I want to give some money to the Tylers.
I recommand you all do the same.
Ya, but that doesn't explain why I get them every time I come to the site on Tor. When I open a new browser window, I have no internet history that google ads on here can detect, so even if I WAS looking at that all the time, ZH's google ads wouldn't know about it. Maybe it just thinks that because I am coming from a weird exit node, because every time I go to google with Tor it is in some random Eastern European language. Any ideas as to why from some more computer savvy people would be welcome.
Bah. Tor is 100% an NSA invention.
that still provides a good amount of anonymity. Yes, they had a hand in it, and yes they have trouble tracking and finding people who use it.
If that was true they'd be naked (and likely nailed).
Fer Gawd's sake, don't clear your cache. If you are getting AnastiaDating and ChinesWives ads, consider yourself fortunate! Once you get the bearded twerp in the "manly clothing" ad, or still worse the pajama-boy-wanabe in the "smart underwear" ad, you'll be pining for Anastasia!
I totally would... after Bugs Bunny takes a trimmer to Gossamer.
"ZH: whats up with the 'Date ARAB women' ads? C'mon, admit its a great joke. Can't be serious. Right?"
I love the Russian girls but man oh man, I just seem to lose my head around the Arab women.
Well, the Ukraine girls really knock me out
It's true - they leave the West behind.
Print moar water! All kidding aside though. California is going to need to outsource its cannabis production somewhere. THey wont be able to keep growing indoor grass with no water. Shit grows great in the Great Lakes region. Too bad Nestle is stealing the water there too.
That's actually not a bad idea. Paper water. Pester backed credit default swaps, water backed securities. Water futures contracts with 100 paper gallons for each real gallo of water. Then, we could all short the shit out of it. That way water would always be cheap and plentiful, and we would get rich on the process. Who wants to invest, bitchez?
You can't arbitrage water.
Yes you can.....
Yes you can.....
<---We are done, well done.
<---We are toasted.
That's one way to kill hydrilla.
Har har! I could tell you stories about hydrilla ...
What will the illegals drink?
Mexicans are used to not drinking the water anyway...
Soda.
LOL! Corn syrup soda and shitty beer. The little mexican kids often times look like balloons.
Or piñatas....grab the stick. Jorge? Put the fanta down and come here....
Witness the racism found in the ZH comment threads reaching the point where someone is advocating for the beating of children of a certain race.
Iridium, are you channeling Jaan Viik?
Brawndo. It's got electrolytes.
Corona
Are we now having articles like that every week, even though the next chance to have a change on the situation is around December? (when the rain season usually starts)
Don't bog it down with details malek, this is central planning at its finest! The CVP said it could control & regulate Mother Nature!
This is Nirvana!!!
Another ZHer posted this link last week, (thank you), and I shared it with a scientist who had worked in this field decades ago. His reply back to me was essentially, "WOW! We were doing that years ago but I had no idea how far the technologies had come." Here's the link:

Well worth the watch...
+ 1. This is the best comment I've read on this post. Just watched the video. It is actually more credible than the benchmark documentary on the subject of chem trails; What in the World are they Spraying?.
We have people in our community that get physically sick the day after spraying occurs. Took years to make the correlation. Whood uh thunk citizens would be bombarded by sickness from above? To paraphrase what Jim Kirk once said about Khan...'We weren't thinking three dimensionally.
Thanks, Bollixed. Where I live, the spraying has nearly stopped. Dunno if it's because of this guys work or just that the agenda has changed. Either way, I'm thankful. BTW, anybody seen Flakmeister lately?
She is investigating the Methane plumes off the East coast, seem to be warming something or other.. But no worries she says the models know all..
Trees don't seem to mind
Those are native Oak trees, they're adapted to CA's semi-arid conditions, though they do seem to be dropping acorns earlier than usual maybe this year, (I'm in Oroville & could hit the park's Visitor Center with a Discraft Ultrastar from here if not for all the oaks.) "Lake" Oroville is a reservoir, not a lake - it's a flooded river canyon, its level depends on both river inputs and the releases made by the human engineers to downstream buyers. Funny thing, the golf course here isn't brown yet. I don't play, I agree with Carlin on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4w7H48tBS8
It's only the pools and sod lawns that suffer.
oh hey CW, like your posts. My sister and her family were up here a month ago, talk turned to the drought. My boomer dad w/ Alzheimer's was bragging about how they'll never catch him watering.
I said, "Look out back at the park. (Oaks, Gray Pine, tall grass.) All the land up here "wants" to go back to that. Don't mean to anthropomorphize - I mean the energy gradient flows that way. It takes a ridiculous amount of time, energy, water, and poisons to maintain these stupid landscapes, as if..."
Malinvestments are fractal, and have been going on for far too long. The correction will be harsh.

what is the Continental shelf floating up apon? nothing?
Need more immigrants to settle in California. Doubling population since 1980 hasn't had much of an effect on the use of natural resources. Heck, what are ya, raciss?
prime development
I figured the drought was over out there judging from the morons all over the 'tubes pouring a fucking bucket of ice water on their heads.
I dumped a bucket of icewater on my daughter since she was.playing along with the ALS thing....what she didn't know was that I salted the ice.
Hoooweeee! She sure.let.out.quite a yell......
what happen when you salt the ice?
You don't live in a place with winter? It lowers the freezing temperature... you can get the water well below 32 F.
gets colder
I wonder how toxic the water gets with that much less dilution.
The solution to pollution is dilution.
THe solution to population is dillution.
Went ahead and fixed that for you.
Water is for fucking toilets anyway.
Drink Brawndo.
The biggest threat to water supplies in California is the stategov and fedgov. The bulk of the surface water from seasonal rains and snow pack is collected in resevoirs, whose water release is controlled by stategov and fedgov. Just ask the farmers in San Jaquin Valley. To note, I have seen years where we had well above average rainfall and Shasta and Trinity Lakes were very low by this time of year. And to make matters worse, plans are in play to destroy several of the dams already in place in Northern California. California does not need to have water problems; at least not in the north. California is on an 11 year El Nino cycle and this can be planned for with the water storage in place. But that would assume that intelligent minds were in control of the reins of power.
