    I remember watching Anderson Dam drain in 2017. Water shot out of the dam faster than cars on the highway, and hydraulic jumps downstream were upwards of 12 feet high. The ground was shaking below my feet! Although I knew this was ultimately for good reason (a dam failure of Anderson's size could take many lives and devastate our ecosystem), I was sad to see all that water wasted during the height of our drought. 7 years later and I am now a civil engineer who has studied the design of dams and tunnels like these. I am so excited to see this dam reach completion so we can retain the full 90.3 thousand-acre feet of water Anderson can hold!

    This creek flows out of a state park and is so beautiful i cannot believe anyone would screw it up but it has been screwed up permanently, the middle portion in the park can only be reached on foot and is one of California's gems that should have been left natural from its headwaters to it's estuary draining into the pacific ocean, such a unique water system and breathtaking riparian habitat, so sad, i cannot imagine how the absence of anadromous fish species in the upper portions of this creek have changed the forest since anderson dam and others have been built, makes me wish i was an explorer several centuries ago.

    While this is a noble effort, our waterways are not being cleared of vegetation and this is causing damage to levees, roads, bridges and other infrastructure when flooding occurs - this is all due to poor maintenance. Our tax dollars are only being used to clean up homeless encampment trash and not to protect property of tax-paying citizens

    What a beautiful and lush garden, filled with resilient native plants. I only learned recently that these California natives are the only plants that co-evolved with our native bees, butterflies, birds, etc. Baby birds can only eat insects (especially caterpillars) that feed on these native plants (think of monarchs and milkweed, then multiply it by the hundreds of other butterfly species). Kudos to you, Melanie, for creating this wonderful habitat, saving water and these critical species at the same time.

    Great to have all this wet weather, but it's not the time to loosen up on saving water as a way of life in CA--it's a nice savings bank to have full reservoirs now, and if we continue to conserve we can make the dry years less impactful.

    • @Ron-rb1vw
      @Ron-rb1vw Рік тому

      Why does it need to be the way of life in CA? Because we'll be in a drought by end of summer? So, if even with reservoirs being full, we need to conserve like crazy? Sounds like the issue is not how much rain/snow we get. But, that we don't have enough water storage. Keep in mind, 4 year ago we record rains and reservoirs were over flowing. And, we had tight water restrictions in place then.

      this may not happen, the guess is that we're going to have less and/or more expensive water over time, so people will continue to be incentivized to use less than we used to through higher rates. I suppose you could also verify if the money is going to to make some people richer or not. For what it's worth, we still have a bigger problem if deep aquifers that have been pumped for water heavy crops, and that take hundreds of years to refill, not one good year. Those are actually causing some ground collapses in some locations or sinkholes.

    • @Ron-rb1vw
      @Ron-rb1vw Рік тому

      @@MarcMERLIN Agree. Unless the population decreasing substantially, our water demand keeps increasing. Even with crazy water restrictions. 4 years ago we have some of highest rains for some 80 years of records. Doesn't matter as you say if we need multiple years of rain saturating farm lands. But, also, if we can't store water year to year. We can't build the proper backlog of water.
