This new Bill which is being pushed by a Southern California Assembly Women is pushing this bill exceptionally hard with her political backing and support. The True Ploy in this scheme is to make her Uncle Rich he is the sole own of Granite Construction who has this Dam Project for 2007-2020 profiting over 1 Billion Dollars. The Dam Project was finished as of 2010 rebuilding the Folsom Dam road. She has since pushed for 50,000 Gallons of water a Day being drained from Folsom Lake and other Northern California water supplies. There is NO DROUGHT in California, we have had less rain then usual but we get a bulk of our rain in the spring. The Lakes in California are being Drained on Purpose so that the water can be sold to Southern California for the equivalent of gas prices. In turn making the City of Folsom extremely wealthy. There is no Drought the City of Folsom is selling all the water down south and has a contract until 2020 and they will drain every single gallon of water out of the lakes as fast as it comes in. Folsom Lake rose 14 feet in 2 days and they drained all the gains in a week! Basically Southern Californians cannot conserve water therefore they have to drain the northern California lakes AKA reservoirs. This could all be solved by 2 simple extremely cheap fixes (1) Build the Auburn Dam its been proposed for the last 10 years its a easy 5 million dollar fix to what they are spending a Billion on currently and it will act as a double reservoir keeping folsom lake what lake natomas is now. Acting as a second spill over. (2) How do 3rd world countries get their water? The extract it from the ocean and purify it. Southern California can setup water refineries for under 10 million and bring in water from the ocean clean it and extract the salt and they have an unlimited water supply but this Senator rather make her family extremely rich and people are trying to stop her but few will speak up!!!
its really crazy to see y'all in the midwest/east coast speak of a drought because truly there is no drought its a fake drought, made by the government so they can sell us our own water back to us at the same rate as gas! NO Joke!!! The funny thing is the lakes the water it all belongs to the citizens and people of california it's public land owned by the people and our government is telling us what to do with it without our permission people need to make a stand this is no joke.
The Crazy thing is they are doing this without consent from the people who voted them into power! Also they have crews working 24/7/365 sunday saturday all day and all night like they have over 10 million in machinery alone just sitting have built special roads, and huge hangers and yards for their equipment alot of the locals I speak with that are in the loop believe their is something deeper going on behind the scenes that we do not know about. all construction sites are fenced off with razor wire and multiple police units at each entry site. Not to mention all the signs that say US Government Property No Trespassing around the lake I walked with in 10 feet of the signs with my Dobermans and my DSLR camera and I had cops confronting me within seconds.
Cal Trans is not working on any of this projects it's all private companies hand selected by this Assembly Women!
I smell something fishy!!!
read those links they will open your eyes especially the second one!

That's interesting I had not heard about that one. To make matters worse don't forget about the delta smelt.
Below is from this website:
The Man-Made California Drought - House Committee on Natural Resources
California’s water storage and transportation system designed by federal and state governments includes 1,200 miles of canals and nearly 50 reservoirs that provide water to about 22 million people and irrigate about four million acres of land throughout the state.
In May 2007, a Federal District Court Judge ruled that increased amounts of water had to be re-allocated towards protecting the Delta smelt – a three-inch fish on the Endangered Species List.
Because of this ruling, in 2009 and 2010 more than 300 billion gallons (or 1 million acre-feet) of water were diverted away from farmers in the Central Valley and into the San Francisco Bay – eventually going out into the Pacific Ocean.
This man-made drought cost thousands of farm workers their jobs, inflicted up to 40 percent unemployment in certain communities, and fallowed hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile farmland.
Unemployment remains at a regional average of 17%. With current precipitation at near-record lows, the same regulations will be imposed pushing unemployment even higher.
The Pelosi-led Congress did nothing to reverse the plight of the San Joaquin Valley and even obstructed repeated Republican actions to reverse the situation. The Sacramento-San Joaquin Valley Water Reliability Act reflects Republican promises to avoid another man-made drought.

CA has the ability to have plenty of water if it wasn't wasted, we are the largest agriculture state in the country.
But in a Dem controlled state that is strong armed by environmentalists we save useless fish and bugs before we save people.
