5/3/2021: 1. This water did not naturally flow to the ocean historically. It used to flood the San Joaquin Valley floor. The northern end of the Valley had so much water after a few atmospheric rivers ripped through, that it was routinely wiped out and left under water. People died, homes and businesses were destroyed, and farmland was ruined. Our amazing water projects were built and designed to hold that water back, and return it more slowly to prevent the catastrophic deluges from happening every couple of years. Levees were put into place to protect from flooding, along with dams and reservoirs. Today this water is channelized to the San Francisco Bay by man made embankments and waterways, not through a natural process.

2. Once water reaches the south end of the Delta from the north, it has already flowed through streams and rivers. Fish have had the benefit of the water for hundreds of miles. The choice then becomes to either save the water into storage through pumping, the way our projects are intended to work, or allow it to continue to the ocean where it becomes unusable by anyone. As you know, the storage pumps have been operating at between a scant 0% and 15% of capacity for months, and our water security is free flowing into the Pacific. Even though the snow is melting, and even though now is our chance to capture all we can for later, the cesspool-like water quality in the S.F. Bay needs flushing out, and the endangered delta smelt nobody can seem to collect in trawling surveys, could be migrating. Both keep the pumps throttled back to a trickle. The current outflow we're seeing also exceeds what is necessary to prevent salt water intrusion into the Delta, a necessity no user disputes.

3. The April 2021 outflow was 400,022 acre feet. In other words, 130,347,568,722 (130.3 billion) gallons of fresh water became unusable saltwater in 30 days. It is equal to enough water to meet the needs of 4,000,220 (4 million) people for a year, and it is gone.

4. Cities are already imposing new water rationing restrictions, and fines for going over allowed usage. Rate hikes for water and sewer service will follow once again. Through new legislation, those who can afford to pay more will be billed a supplemental fee, to fund those who have been priced out. It amounts to the "haves" paying for the newly created "have-nots". It is wealth redistribution through a man-made water shortage. "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs", is a slogan that Karl Marx made popular.

5. Central Valley Project farmers from about Tracy to Bakersfield are so far receiving ZERO surface water from the project in which they paid to construct, operate and maintain. New for this drought is the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) which will also cut off access to most replacement water. We could see about half of the farmland, in the most productive and fertile Ag region on earth, sit idle without any food growing on it. Small farmers are least able to financially withstand ground fallowing. There will be causalities.

6. State Water Project contractors are receiving a measly 211,424 acre feet to share with 27 million people and 750,000 acres of farmland. Again, 400,022 acre feet of prime water went to sea in April, almost twice the amount allowed for families and food producers.

7. The people responsible for making the decisions that send our drinking and irrigation water to the ocean are the bureaucrats appointed by Gavin Newsom (state water), and Joe Biden (federal water). They are unaccountable to v**ers. Gavin Newsom also has refused to declare a statewide drought emergency that could provide flexibility to the massive oceanic outflows dictated by environmental policies. Those regulations were designed to save endangered fish, but have never been successful.

8. The water that is unavailable for food and people belongs to everyone---republicans, democrats, and everybody in between, yet the democrat one-party majority in California has failed to safeguard this water for all since they have been at the helm, over 40 years. New Melones was the last, major, water project reservoir built in the state. That was 41 years ago.

California manages their water about as well as they manage their forests.

Over 80% of the forests in CA are managed by the federal government, obviously the money pissed away on the Trumpty Dumpty wall should have been used to hire people to rake the forest.

Your Democratic friends are the ones who decided that "mother nature" would take care of itself a.nd that there would be no "raking" of the forest. Assisted by EPA of course. LONG before Trump came into the picture you fool
