California Lake Mysteriously Runs Dry Overnight, Thousands Of Fish Dead
Perhaps it is because the world has grown habituated to its unique set of "liquidity" problems, but California's record, and ongoing, drought has not been receiving much media coverage in recent weeks. Perhaps it should be, because according to a report by CBS Sacramento, the mystery that recently surrounded the water levels at Lake Mead and Lake Powell, has spilled over to a water reservoir in Northern California.
As CBS reports, the Mountain Meadows reservoir also known as Walker Lake, a popular fishing hole just west of Susanville, ran dry literally overnight, killing thousands of fish and leaving residents looking for answers.
The unprecedented emptying of the lake has stunned locals: residents say people were fishing on the lake last Saturday, but it drained like a bathtub overnight.
The reservoir before:
and after:
"Everywhere that you see that’s wet, there was water," said resident Eddie Bauer. Bauer has lived near this lake his entire life. This is the first time he’s ever seen it run dry. He and other residents want answers.
Pacific Gas & Electric Company owns the rights to the water and uses it for hydroelectric power.
According to the Sac Bee, the reservoir is the upper-most storage facility in PG&E’s Feather River hydroelectric system, and has been operating at below the minimum requirements since August, said Ron Lunder, chairman of the Mountain Meadows Conservancy, a Westwood-based nonprofit organization.
What little water remained on the morning of Sept. 13 is gone. Along with leaving large-mouth bass and other non-native fish belly up, a swift drawdown dumped silt and rotting fish into Hamilton Branch, a stream that connects Mountain Meadows reservoir with Lake Almanor.
“Something went haywire,” said Aaron Seandel, chairman of a water quality committee that has been monitoring the water levels in Lake Almanor for 25 years.
Bauer blames the local electric company: he says there should’ve been at least two weeks of water left and that would’ve given PG&E enough time to relocate the fish. "This makes me feel like they didn’t want to do a fish rescue and that it was easier to open that sucker up Saturday night," Bauer said.
However, PG&E denies responsibility and says nobody opened the dam up: instead the "water simply ran out."
PG&E spokesman Paul Moreno said an outlet valve at the dam has been continuously clogged, requiring maintenance as often as twice a day to release water downstream through Hamilton Branch to Lake Almanor. Company officials consulted with “the relevant agencies” and decided not to stop further flows out of the dam, he said.
"It’s a very flat, very shallow reservoir. At some point it was going to go dry," he said. And so it did. Overnight.
No matter who’s to blame, residents here worry, this could happen in other areas of the state. “The reservoirs are all continuing to be far below normal,” said Doug Carlson with the Department of Water Resources. He says there’s no question water concerns are still a serious issue across the state.
“We are reliant upon rainfall to fill those lakes of course and until we get more rain we’re not likely to see any appreciable increase in the reservoir levels,” he said.
As for the fate of all the water at the Mountain Meadows reservoir, it remains a mystery.

All you have to do is Google and you'll find the answers.
It was either confiscated by the new FEMA / Military camp in nearby Herlong:

Or taken by aliens for use in their underground nesting site near Susanville:

A snippet from the alien report, since it has more credibility, this being California, than the FEMA report:
"Well personal health issues are one thing but when one finds out about the true nature of planet Earth and the interdimensional war taking place -- everything takes on a deeper meaning and should, like Erin Brockovich showed us, make us all question the real causes affecting us and our families.
So, anyhow, Guidance had Sue Ann and I drive the 500 + miles up there yesterday, and arriving close to the site Sue Ann channeled the following info to let us know what had to be done:
"Dear One, We want you to clear out the nest of reptilian mutations that are a breeding program here in this area. This mutation is a particularly nasty one that is very dark and nearly everyone in the area is infected to some degree, very similar to the \'Alien\' series of movies.
"The inmates at the local prison and the military personnel have been used extensively in the program.
"The area has a very large energetic crack in it that has allowed many underground reptilians and critters to surface. This needs to be closed.
"We will give Peter further instructions. With great Love, Aristenna."
By the looks of the picture, it is not a very deep lake at all. So, JERRY BROWN and PGE, stop bittchin and get to work! You now have the opportunity to deepen the lake so it will store more water for the future.
SOUNDS LIKE AN IDEAL SHOVEL READY JOB !!
Best water management money can buy. I'm inclined to say those libtard california nuts deserve it. Everyone knew the cycles of rain and desert out there before they built during a wet cycle.

Some fools are actually telling us that we can use reverse-osmosis systems to produce fresh water from salty sea water to provide Cali with all the water they will ever need.
But it happens to be a chemistry problem. They are doing that in Israel now, and it doesn't work. Unlike Na-Cl salt, boron goes right through the filters. And it is quite abundant and very toxic. Cali is truly doomed. Cali license plates will appear in your state soon just like the ones from NOLA (yeah including Maine). Wait for it.
Sorry, you're 15 years out of date. Boron removal isn't a problem if you use the correct membrane.
Keep up. The Israelis have solved the boron problem a good while ago.
when the river or the lake gets very low they are subject to minor geologic changes, a small earthquake. remember the weight of the water holds the ground in place, remove that weight and cracks can open, then sluuuurp, ITS GONE. the El Nino pattern will bring lots of rain unfortunately its all going to fall south of these folks. and who is drilling that well, BP? we are very likely to see a disaster no movie could ever describe in Las Vegas. but first a blessing from the pontiff
This may not be related, but Chile has been having over 40 earthquakes every 24 hours for at least a few days now.

"This makes me feel like they didn’t want to do a fish rescue and that it was easier to open that sucker up Saturday night,"
And there you have it. The ownership, which undoubtedly made a pile of money selling lake-front property, didn't want to be bothered with the expense of a fish rescue. They didn't want to be bothered with irate property-owners trying to stall the final drawdown. So they simply gave no notice and did it on a Saturday night, leaving the property-owners with a stinking mass of dead fish off their back decks. This is the way that the powerful treat the Little People. The Earth and everything that isn't titled to somebody else in triplicate belongs to them, and they will do what they want with it unless opposed by equal or greater power.
Now some people think you can restrain them by using the collective force of government. But they've spent the last thirty years BUYING the government, so that rarely works any more. No, at this point, the government is the biggest part of what gives them their power. After all, a corporation is an artificial entity entirely created by law.
The answer is obvious. I'd sing a little song I know, but somebody in a nice suit would be knocking on my door at midnight.
