"Nobody Has Any Idea How Disastrous It's Going To Be" Warns California Water Expert
Newly released images created from NASA satellite data illustrate the staggering effect the California drought has had on groundwater supply in the state. As Mashable's Patrick Kulp explains, the images show the amount of water lost over the past 12 years, with different colors indicating severity over time. “Nobody has any idea how disastrous it’s going to be,” Mike Wade of California Farm Water Coalition told the Associated Press, as RT reports a growing number of communities in central and northern California could end up without water in 60 days due to the Golden state’s prolonged drought. While California is bearing the brunt, experts note "We're seeing it happening all over the world, in most of the major aquifers in the arid and semi-arid parts of the world."
California is currently experiencing the third year of one of the most severe short-term droughts ever recorded. Data from U.S. Drought Monitor shows that as of Sept. 30, 82% of the state is facing extreme or exceptional drought conditions.
But the state is not the only area being plagued by critical drops in groundwater reserves. Data collected by GRACE indicates that the supply of groundwater is in decline worldwide, especially in regions that rely on it most.
"We're seeing it happening all over the world. It's happening in most of the major aquifers in the arid and semi-arid parts of the world where we rely on those aquifers. But we're able to see now the impact we're having on this over exploitation," Famiglietti told Science Magazine.
But it's getting extremely serious in California (as RT reports),
A growing number of communities in central and northern California could end up without water in 60 days due to the Golden state’s prolonged drought.
There are now a dozen of small communities in Central and Northern California relying on a single source of water – which has the water resources board concerned they will not have any at all in two months’ time.
At a mobile home park north of Oroville, more than 30 families are severely cutting back. The water supply is so tight it is shut off entirely between 10 pm and 5 am, according to CBS Sacramento. The families are relying on one well – all the others have dried up – and have to drive five miles to buy drinking water for themselves and their animals.

In conclusion...
“Nobody has any idea how disastrous it’s going to be,” Mike Wade of California Farm Water Coalition told the Associated Press.

If you're an academic how is it that you don't know the difference between "site" and "cite"?
Yeah, what's your wager?
How may hurricans do you think we will have this year? How many hurricans on average do we have every year. What is the trend over the last 10years or 20years?
The government turned off water to wide swaths of San Joaquin farmland a few years ago, and huge harvests came to a screeching halt. The valley that once supplied the whole nation with fruits and vegetables dried up. At that time the government envirowackos were saving an endangered fish--or so they said. Is this drought connected to that government disaster, or is it a normal climate cycle, or both?
Yo Pool Shark. Do you not grasp the significance of "worst drought ever recorded"?
Maybe when there is no water to fill your pool, it will start to sink in. Or maybe when the price of fresh produce in you local grocery store goes through the roof. Be smug and laugh at Calyfonia all you want, but it won't be funny at all in the long term.
If you don't believe the draining of aquifiers is a real and impending problem, you are the nutjob of which you speak.
I travel extensivelly throughout the South, and have been watching the spread of giant mobile irrigation machinery for decades. It was obvious to me long ago that pumping out of all this water for ever larger industrial farming was going to have long-term consequences. When you use up a natural resource faster than it replenihes, there is only one logical outcome over time. Recently, I was in rural Southwest GA visiting relatives who farm, and a topic of discussion and concern was allocating water from their aquifier. The levels are dropping while the demand is increasing.
This problem may be more visible and acute in CA for now, but it WILL be coming to an agricultural community near you one day.

"Whiskey's for drinking, water's for fighting"
11b40, Nice post. Just mention weather of any kind on ZH and the place explodes with deniers of it all. As if physics does not govern the real world. It is really sad, what education system produces denial of basic physics? I just don't get a political love affair so deep that denial of fact is common place to feed the political belif system that man has dominion over nature. Or is that from the Jewish Bible. So many people have been suckered into the faith of that tribe in the desert.
Well it's my fault cause I drove around Texas last week in my big block powered truck looking for a job but the fucking Mexicans have taken over all the jobs in collision repair
Fucking roaches
winner winner chicken dinner...dee wata be back soon 'nuf...
Not completely accurate PoolShark,
They are sucking the water out of the ground and rates something like 10,000 times replacement.
Read this book and it will make sense.

The sheer lunacy of what was done to settle the west will leave you stunned.
i read it costs 1 billion dollars to build a de salinization plant. So we could have build multiple hundreds of these and not have to worry about a water crisis instead of QE and at the same time created millions of high paying jobs....yea the money was better spent on QE...our bank exec.'s said so...and their smart
Collapse by design. HAARP drought, open borders, radiation. Mission nearly accomplished. Prep accordingly.
I can recall at least a dozen times last winter when Ca witnessed a strong weather front approaching only to be stalled, redirected, or broken apart right before land fall.
Yes. It's starting to sink in with more and more people.
Yup. I posted some good videos and a great website on the page above that you can hand out to people who are actually open-minded on the issue and able to judge based on actual scientific facts instead of intentionally misdirected institutional agenda 21 dogma.
all one need do is look up, pay attention to the skies. there are repeated patterns, with predictable outcomes.
but that would mean diverting eyes from the ubiquitous hand-held entertainment devices, or - gods forbid - logging offline and going OUTside occasionally.
everything's working as intended. prepare accordingly.
Re: "open borders" - they already told us they want an expanded community in 2005:
http://www.cfr.org/content/publications/attachments/NorthAmerica_TF_fina...
Nation states are so 18th century, doncha know.
aye, corporate "nation states" will continue to do what corporations are designed to
merge.
all one really need do is acknowledge the model - corporations - and witness what is already in motion, vs. pretending otherwise.
oh, and that will also help with the dissonance over the "figurehead" CEO, vs. the branded State "leader".
because until that truly is realised, the mind will make up all kinds of stories, based on myths taught in childhood.
So, now that corporations are epople, are states soon to be people, too?
on a long enough time line, "nation states" get all kinds of updates to their "definitions" - including their imaginary "boundaries" defended by their all too real militaries.
I just look at the parallels and what is believed in by various humans. it's not a true reality, but I acknowledge that for some, it IS their reality.
if you believe in "your" nation state, then you will believe in its (hi)story, and that's a massive framework installed in the mind as to what constitutes "reality" at any given time.
patterns. observe the patterns over time, without trying to fit things into tiny boxes you can swallow. just observe until you see the repetitions, because they are there.
and live accordingly.
Yes sacrifice agriculture and there's no longer a water shortage.
We could go back in time and sacrifice some lefty legislators that stopped the CA water project in its tracks.
All government is suspect.
And seeing that Calif provides about 25% of all the food grown in the U.S.....
....prices would increase.
But we'll see $20 lettuce before they shut off the water to the cities.
The sad thing is most people don't have the talent or the space to grow significant amount of vegetables. A huge McMansion on a tiny lot is the average home here. Even with solar, a 10k cistern, good well and 10 acres, I'm extremely nervous. My work associates tease me all the time about my doomer outlook. They never have turned on the faucet and nothing comes out.
Miffed
Everybody should have at the very least a few weeks worth of dried food on hand and extra cash, medical kit,bottled water backup, maybe extra bottle of propane. Mitigate the zombie attack of the ones with failure of imagination. So many low risk but possible scenarios.
People can be idiots in the true sense of the word.
we are discussing water shortage, and you recommend dried food? smirking, but no sarcasm.
I live near a lake, but if i didn't, I might consider some 5 gal bottles of backup water and besides i was responding to a comment about growing your own food. You are snarking the wrong person or is it aimed at both of us?
Beans and rice would go a long way in a crisis.
What you really need, your friends are telling you, is a 4-car garage, a 500 sq. ft. mudroom like in the Pottery Barn catalog, two dining rooms, a finished basement with skee ball alley (for rainy days), 900 square foot of granite countertop (none of it continuous or in a practical straight line, btw), a large collection of ornamental shrubs, bushes, and trees (carefully selected to connote sterility), and lots of water-sucking, nitrogen-requiring green green green lawn grass in odd, narrow strips placed between master bedroom wings and marble fountain patios. Make sure it comes with a movie room so you can fill your brain with intense images of what life could be like.
T he lettuce comes from Arizona where it's grown with pumped irrigation.
Might actually spur local agriculture in other places...but higher prices, of course.
Production of 50% to 99% or most fruits, vegetables, dairy, etc. for the entire country. Yet food prices are down according to the FAO index. Nothing makes sense anymore.
No shit. Many of us have no clue how much of our produce comes from Cali. I'm in GA, too, btw.
Thought that little fish stopped them growing anything but grapes in the north.
"Nobody has any idea...". Except those who strum the HAARP.
taxpayers
If you have to ask, you're not paying attention.
fify - If you're not pissed off, you're not paying attention (HAARP/UN Agenda 21).
The northern california delta smelt are partying like it's 1999.
Gov Moonbeam has his priorities in order.
sarc/off
Some folks!
Long astroturf manufacturers.
Long LifeStraw and green food.
Desalinization. Please.
This could be an even greater disater to the Pacific Northwest. A million eyes looking north to more fertile land.
CallieF*cks are like locust.
Maybe they will get beaten the f**k up when they flee to other states like they used do to Okie's trying escape the dust bowl.
Karma is a bitch man!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jr6_t_JcUDg
Cool story, internet tough guy. Quit acting like your tax farm is better than any other tax farm.
Actually, most of the Cali's are 3rd & 4th generation okies, most pre-okie Californians have already beat feet.
Try bringing that shit california philosophy back to OK. They will eat them alive. The old Okies in Cal are now at complete opposite ends of the spectrum on everything.
Nothing that a few million more illegal aliens and high speed rail won't fix.
Instant Karma's Gonna Get You Man!

The f**king Yoko Ono mind control in the video is a bit disturbing.
Still Californicaters did this to themselves. After Pete Wilson left it was totally F'ed. Rigged elections insane people.
You forgot Texas ,there fixed it
Talk about building your house on sand.....and illegals.
Right! Real Estate needs water. I would love to see the giant California Real Estate market and all the boosters who are RE Agents take a huge fucking hit! I just have it in for Real Estate Agents and Bankers who thrive off of bubble economics, which in the long run do nobody else any good. Fuck 'em!
I hope somebody will bailout the entire CalPERS scheme. They deserve the best.
California exports water.....bottled water( a story run on ZH a few months back)....how stupid is that?
On a scale of one to ten, about 13.
Calipronio has an ocean. Desalinate. Could be the greenest state if you stop planning bullet trains to nowhere. Might have to remove a little radiation.
Imagine the size of the potential sinkhole the missing water has left.
One quake away?
There are water projects dating back to 1961 that have never gone past the planning stages though they knew the population was increasing rapidly because actually doing anything would upset the touchy feely crowd. They created their own demise and since I live in a part of the country where drought is common my sympathy is quite limited.
Yes indeed KnuckleDragger
those water projects actually predate 1961
http://www.amazon.com/Cadillac-Desert-American-Disappearing-Revised-eboo...
'experts say it's happening all over the world'----nope. these the made up or hired experts that useful to make exciting headlines; it is not happening all over the world. A completely stupid statement. The water evaporates from the surface of the oean, 77% of the Planet's surface, and then falls again as rain and snow. It's physically impossible for "this" to happen "all over the world". By the way; North Pacific surface temperatures are good; so the only problem is a slight change in direction of airflow; which of course is very fickle. I plain English, the water is still evaporating and it's still falling out of the sky, someplace; it just doesn't happen to be in California at the moment. As a hint; it's falling like 2000 maniacs in British Columbia; a little north of California.
The red area is the growing region that gets no northern mountian run-off water because of the delta smelt in the SF delta region. Did the Feds do that on purpose? And yes crop yield in this bread basket is down 70+ percent. So now not just the growers are bankrupt but himaroid is 100% correct, and I'm surprised that we haven't heard stories about companies that make desalination plants reaping profits. Is Gov Moonbeam waiting for the US tax-payer to bail him out?
What's this with resources and chemical cycles? Hard limits do exist? whodacouldathunkit?
morons.
What? Is it bad to grow rice in a desert?
Are they going to steal water from other states to supply CA?
GL (Great Lakes) Pipeline. Obola will approve it in a heartbeat.
Back in the 90s when I still had cable I was watching public access channel and someone - can't recall sponsor - was presenting a North American water plan, and the interesting part of their idea was that water would be harvested from all over the NW and Canada and, now get this, it ALL was heading to SoCal and particularly Phoenix!! It was a beautifully crafted map, blue lines that kept getting bigger and thicker as they headed south... had war written all over it.
Canadians do not want to sell water to the USA and run pipelines. Obama and the Dems/RINOS want a population of 500 million serfs. Just a bigger threat to Canada.
Pheonix isn't in SoCal you fumb duck.
You are... stupid.
Suggest you learn to read before commenting.
You haven't figured it out yet, have you?
T. Boone will sell it to the highest bidder.
Buffett will ship it there via his railroads....
Inside job...."BlowJob"
Customer pays....
"Buffett will ship it there via his railroads...."
Makes sense. Lots of empty coal cars on the western backhaul.
They have been for years already. Utah and Colorado are booming now, they will be keeping more of their water.
Makes sense, something about possession being important.
tick tock.
When Planets Attack !!!
Those of us who look good in still suits will rule Calarrakis.
FED will print more money. If it works with the economy, it will work with water too.
What we need to do is have the government redistribute the water from those who have too much (and clearly don't deserve it) to those who have too little. We can call it water "fairness". All pipes will lead from the sources of abundant water into Washington DC. From there it will be redistributed via a second set of pipes out to the affected regions around the country who will receive it. There will be minimal loss in transit of about 90%. But we will all sleep well at night knowing we're being fair to everyone.
Soon they'll have to walk for miles carrying a stick with two pails attached to each side filled with water. Wrapped in towels, they'll be singing:
"Ooo-lee-ayyy
Ooo-lee-ahhh
Ooo-lee-ay-o"
And those are just the ones that are responsible for watering the golf courses.
Couldn't happen to a better place. Wither and die libtards.
Libtards... Nice. Did you make that up or did you get it from Rush? Keep it up sock monkey.
I feel sorry for conservative Dems but Libs have voted for this for 50 years and elected scum like the Brown family and Grey Davis. The last decent gov CA had was Pete Wilson. The state (VOTERS) voted to stop endless benefits to illegals and a liberal judge illegal overturned the will of the VOTERS.
Name one "conservative" Democrat.
You mean one whose only conservative attibute is favoring small government? AKA Liberaltarians.
Gary Condit. Dennis Cardoza. Strom Thurmond. Andrew Jackson.
Well, it couldn't happen in Manhattan, but that would be a better place. 33 Liberty even... it is the abscence of price discovery and real markets that is exacerbating all of this.
The Catskills (watershed feeding NYC) are a huge upended shale outcrop. Imagine if it were to be targeted for more than just water.
Don't know much about the state do you. (Not a question)
The central valley is as conservative as you can get.
Conservative in poitics, maybe, but growing rice in desert cannot be qualified as conservative.
Subsidized stuidity, maybe.
You're right, there are a lot of good people in CA, and most people know that. The criticism is of the largely statist coast-tardians who think that the world revolves around them. I do feel bad for the normal people of the state.
'Just send me to Hell or New York City, it'd be about the same to me'. Not interested in any part of New York. Thanks for sending us your gun manufacturing industry. Kindly drop dead.
There is plenty of water in the ground. You just have to figure how to get it out. BTW. Love that pseudocolored map. Guess red is bad and green is good. Because is is bright red, it must be really, really, really bad.
mb you need to stop grow marijuana and rice in the desert?
They always can start planting olive tree`s
No....there is not 'plenty of water in the ground'.
The water levels underground have dropped significantly.
I know of real estate now where they estimate the length of time a private well has before it goes dry as part of the selling price of said property.
They dig deeper wells but not all those wells provide good water. A lot of geo/thermal effects come into play.
Probably another parasite content to consume all the resources until the colony dies off. That's the financial system we have today. Growth at ANY cost because it is necessary to perpetuate the financial ponzi and great confidence game.
It wouldn't be a proper Depression without a Dust Bowl. Now it's a proper Depression.
And now we can move on to the unsurprising World War that follows. WashRinseRepeat. Works every time.
edit: Oh yeah, there could be a civil war over water rights to boot. Joy!
speaking of WW3, it looks like the artic might turn out to be a major flashpoint. lots of military equipment being moved in and around that area.
after all, can't let Ivan keep all that oil to themselves, would make all those sanctions even more pointless and ineffective...
damn the ebola, we've got some oil to liberate!
Just keep on approving all that new construction geniuses; the payoffs must flow.
They ration development just fine in CA already.
Go-bull-warming in the land of fruits and nuts. Good news for the left wing kooks, AlGore and Moonbeam got your back!
Dumbasses.
Like your state is any better.
Every state sucks in some form. Today, we have Cali being our lunchtime entertainment.
NO WORRIES, THE FED WILL JUST PRINT MORE WATER.
Secret Government labs are working on a substitute, DHMO is being closely studied.
The Navy uses Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO) in all major propulsion systems.
With the recent cutbacks in defense spending, Washington DC experts say that any unused
DHMO could be sent to California.
Only problem is the navy is using DHMO that is contaminated with NaCl. Even worse if they install desalination plants then they will be dumping DHMO with even higher levels of NaCl as untreated waste into the ocean. Watch the Californians vote to ban DHMO as it is a threat to the enviornment.
Why don't we just print our own water and end the Fed.
There are 'hard limits' to the .fed/.gov lies...water, food, Ebola deaths, etc. Eventually, something will take hold that can not be contained with .gov lies and the system will break down rapidly.
Moonbeam Brown,Do a Dance !!!
University of Pennsylvania here come the Q99X2. It's too hot out here.
What city in Pennsylvania is worse than Pittsburgh? Answer: Philidelphia.
At least in Pittsburgh we have abundant (and clean) water.
Let them drink oil.
Funny how the abscence of price discovery leads to misallocation or over exploitation. Let the market clear. All those golf courses in the desert surrounding Vegas will die... the rest of Vegas will survive a little longer, hopefully long enough to develop an alternative to Lake Mead. The waste in the system will get reduced quickly and the return to water technologies will increase.
Are there any plans to build desalination plants? I know they are expensive but we(USA) have spent trillions on nuclear weapons and other military projects since 1950 why not subsidize desalination plants? Even now California itself is about to frip away billions on the Browndoggle.
In this case, it would be a choice between which resource is more scarce in any given location: water or energy supplies. Desalination requires significant energy inputs. Pick your poison, I suppose.
Big Oil will do WHATEVER is necessary to make sure there's NO new technology that could cheapen energy supplies.
"When you've got them by the balls, their hearts and minds will follow." -- Charles Colson
Yeah, there are de-sal plants being constructed and already constructed.
The bad news is they are privately held. And they are very expensive to run.
The Regan/Thatcher era was big on 'private water'. It almost brought some countries to revolution. Some things should NOT be privatized. Water is one of them.
You worry about the 'elites' having too much control? Wait until you have to go to them to get a drink of water.
Our stupid waste water system coupled with our need for lawns and golf courses is just an indicator as to how far off the mark we are as a society and our 'right' to consumption.
But it is not just bad in Calif. The northeast water is plentiful but polluted and getting more so.
And I'm not too keen about water out of some of the Great Lakes either.
It is bad news they are privately held and expensive? Wait until you see what it costs for the government to run one. I worked for a company in Cali when I was a kid that bid both private and .gov contracts. We had spreadsheets where you plugged in all the requirements and there was the price. If it was a gov job, the last step was multiply by 5, literally.
The one instance I see privatization as bad is when your society goes corporate fascist and the private companies in place are able to lobby for monopoly protections. By that time though you are screwed from both sides. Good luck with your love of government. Let us know how that works out for you.
desalination plants.. require a lot of energy, and they do a real good Job of Polluting exactly where do they dump the junk they pull out.. why back into the source Pool...
The last century was an aberation in terms of CA's long term weather pattern which in turn saw an explosion in both population and production. If the long term wether patterns reasset themselves then goodbye California or at least goodbye to California as we knw it.
Nice try Peter, but read your history:
http://www.sanjoaquinhistory.org/documents/HistorianNS5-4.pdf
From 1862:
"The great central valley of the state is under water the Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys -a region 250 to 300 miles long and an average of at least twenty miles wide, a district of five thousand or six thousand square miles, or probably three to three and a half million of acres is inundated]!"4
If California's long-term weather patterns reassert themselves, it looks like we'll all be under water.
Periods of flooding/drought in California have ALWAYS been cyclical.
[PS, those silly images go back a whole 12 years! Wow, that's a real long-term trend...]
Maybe Ahnold will save the day like he did last time? Lol.
Ahnold, like his predecessors and his successors was just another livestock herder. He was owned. His owners were not livestock. Many of them weren't even Californians.
That grabbed the headlines at an awfully convenient time.
Great.
La Raza can choke on dust.
The issue may be that California has enough water to sustainably
support its population,
BUT
not enough to support the agri-business of supplying food for the rest of the USA.
Agriculture uses over 80% of the available water supply, and is currently depleting the underground aquifers rapidly.
The problem essentially may be one of unsustainable agri-business use of land in California, and wasteful use of farmland elsewhere.
The problem is related to real estate development profits being made by building on farmlands near urban centers, river flood plains, and swamplands.
The real "solution" could be to intensify local farm use in other regions of the USA more suitable for agriculture, and also to become less reliant on long-range transportation for foodstuffs.
I find it interesting that on the hottest of days agribusiness is spaying water into the air to "irrigate" millions of acres of crops.
Spraying water? Lived in The Central Valley all my life and have never witnessed this. Are you sure it wasn't insecticide?
I thought he was referring to the use of the Rain Bird type of sprinklers.
Yes, sprinklers spraying water into the air or irrigation. ok maybe farmers call them something else but practice is the same.
Four years and I still can not post photos....curses
Unless you're special, ZH won't let you post photos. You can post links to photos though.
"The real "solution" could be to intensify local farm use in other regions of the USA more suitable for agriculture, and also to become less reliant on long-range transportation for foodstuffs." -- No way california (or any liberal) will let go of such a ludcrative subsidy. Sorry, try again.
How about ending all subsidies and finding out who the sustainable (proftitable) farmers really are. Price discovery, what is that?
morons.
America is a "capitalist" country. The "Capitalists" OWN their country's politicians. Those politicians, if they know what side of their bread the butter's on, do the bidding of America's "Capitalists".
Ergo, subsidies, both direct monetary and those due to regulation, will remain (and get larger) for the foreseeable future. It's the "capitalist" way. You can thank the Republicans and the Democrats for this. It's what they do.
So, same as it ever was, that's my point.
At least until the market manipulation (because that is what subsidation really is) can no longer be maintained...
Odd that so many people junk any comment that favors less market manipulation. We all have our favorite subsidy I guess.
Lawsof Physics
perhaps your overly simplistic depiction of the problem
as "market manipulation" with farm subsidies supported by "liberals"
accounts for some down votes.
Again, "price discovery" what's that?
This is the fucking problem. Pretty fucking simple.
Compensation has been going to useless paper-pushers for long enough. Speaking of rain, people around the world are tired of being pissed on and told "it's raining".
Full faith and credit...
tick tock motherfucker.
Rebuilding local production food sources is going to be become vitally important again and a lot sooner than people think. Hell, people don't realize that even before WW2 that there was quite a limited amount of fresh produce and other goods available and that even in the US there were limits to refridgeration which is why so much stuff was pickled, smoked/cured, salted, dry evaporated, or preserved.
Evidence has been found that Calif had a major 100 year drought back around 1200.
A fairly deep lake up around Tahoe has a still standing 'forest' in it that dates back at least 800 years (carbon dating of a limb removed from a tree at 100 ft. depth)
That lake had to be dry enough for long enough to allow a forest to grow.
Hmmm.....that can't be good for business.
it can be good for stocks
Two hundred year dry spell.
http://www.hcn.org/issues/44.22/underwater-forest-reveals-the-story-of-a...
Has the makings of a Civil War.
Less than average rainfall is not the issue. It is the total waste of the US's groundwater resources. But, you can't generate billions in profits by selling bottled water to the people if the people can put in a well and pump it themselves.
"Give it back" to Mexico. ..
Already did.
If you do just a modicum of research on Chemtrails, and especially of the abundance of same over California for the past decade, you will soon realize that the drought has been caused, not by global warming or even radiation from Fukushima, but by aluminum particles in chemtrails that have altered the trade winds and rain cloud formation. The depopulation agenda seems to be ramping up big time, especially now with the Ebloa psyop.
What fucking moron downed this?
The USA is excepicionais and indispensable.
Exceptionally fucked.
Indispensably hated by the rest of the world.
Nobody can stand so much war.
The USA is like a pachyderm, where the paw boots fucks everything.
hehe.
They have raided the Colorado River for decades. They planted grass along every real estate development sidewalk in LA.
Now a dry decade arrives and the world will end. Missed opportunities for the last decade by the political hacks in Sacramento.
The state agriculture went to drip irrigation but water was just to cheap to save. Open the gates and flood irrigate the fields.
And you should see the size of the pumps that send it up and over the "grape vine pass" at the southern end of the Central Valley.
SHTF folks.

This video is really thought provoking. I always thought that chemical cloud-seeding was a doomsday hoax, but never understood what H A A R P was all about. Bears more investigation. Thanks!
