That's very similar to the levy situation in New Orleans which led to the flood after Katrina. Loads of money was directed away from shoring up the levies. Governments suck.

When there's a shortage they tell everyone to stop using water, only flush when you have to, no car washing, etc.. so the reverse isn't true?
Have Madonna, Lady Gaga and Meryl Streep weighed in on how this is all Trump's fault?

Good job!
The big difference is the pop scientists from the 70's conducted themselves with some ethical restraints, as opposed to the colluding, data-fudgers, political drones of agw who are the least ethical bunch the science world has ever endured.
Yup, it was water business managers who were told of the dam erosion problem and decided not spend money on the repairs. When presented with facts they claimed insufficient evidence was provided. The main spillway would never fail so the emergency would never be used. Typical of clueless managers --conservatives-- to refuse to believe.

Just take a moment to think about what you're asking. When you turn on a faucet, do you really think you are drawing water directly from a reservoir? I mean just think about it for a moment.

Nope, the only bogeymen on this thread are liberals.
The national weather service 5 day rain map has an 11" bullseye right over the dam - it's smack dab in the middle of the highest rain total. This will not end well.

I take that back, I just saw the post above, oh well.
Seems like the best thing for Trump to do, is play nice and help CA/Brown out for now. Then use this as niceness leverage when real issues come up.

Yeah, this is gonna hurt real estate values in Yuba City. (Yes, I am a local realtor.)
Emotionally scarred and deeply flawed maybe, but 6% of nuttin, is zip.

It doesn't matter what Trump does. If that dam breaks, he will be blamed just as much as Bush was blamed for the aftermath of Katrina.
Spahn & Sain and pray for rain!

How did a Boston Braves fan show up here?
The Washington post is a crappy news source. That aside, I would take the word of engineers over the word of environmental groups. Now if civil, geotechnical, and hydrological engineers were part of those groups I'd give the environmental group's argument some weight with regards to the design of the dam. But the article makes no mention of the background of the group members. Without that background, the groups are just playing armchair engineer.

A sure sign the dam will break as local authorities have lifts the evacuation order only after determining that most evacuees had voted for Trump. Oh, the inhumanity of it all!!!
In more CA weirdness Hans Solo had to make an emergency landing at John Wayne airport because he forgot to get his wife something for Valentine's Day. Hans remembered that there is a See's candy shop inside the terminal. You don't want to come home empty handed to Ally McBeal on

Our hero Trump is finding the job of draining the swamp is going to be BigTime difficult. Even the liberal commie spooks are working against him. His plan to negotiate with Russia to take back all the native Americans who came here illegally across the Berring Straight thousands of years ago is getting plenty of blowback. The hardest part of the deal will be to convince Putin to take back
Elizabeth "Pocahontas" Warren. Putin wants Alaska foe her, it might be worth it.
It's only Tuesday and Satan is working double time. The weirdo lefty wackos have joined with the sodomites from West Hollywood to protest the North Dakota pipeline. They couldn't even find ND on a map there so out of touch. When the water starts rising they'll be the ones asking for Trump's help the loudest.
Oh, the swampiness of it all!!!

First we'll use Spahn
then we'll use Sain
Then an off day
followed by rain
Back will come Spahn
followed by Sain
And followed
we hope
by two days of rain.
So that reservoir is connected to a conduit/aquaduct that goes to southern California, where it passes through other reservoirs and clear wells, etc. If everyone in LA turned on their faucets and their sprinklers, it would empty those intermediate conveyances, and allow more water to flow out of Oroville more quickly. Principle of continuity.
