That dude should have went to jail. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Straight to jail.

What a petulant child.

Does anyone know what pumps and valves he's talking about?



I'll go back to being a conservative, when conservatives go back to being conservative.

There is usually one in the kitchen and one in the Bathroom.

Unless you are from Kentucky. ::)

Then there is just one in the front yard.

The shed outback with the moon on the door doesn't have one. ;D

California is lower on the map so the water will just run down hill?  :lol:

I've never heard of any infrastructure in place to bring water in to California from the North West or Canada? I'm just wondering what the hell he's talking about.

I googled "water from the pacific northwest and canada in to California, and google responded with "Trump doesn't know what he's talking about".  :D 



"Turning on the faucet
In recent days, Trump has also talked about the vast supply of meltwater pouring down from Canadian mountains and the ability to turn a "very large faucet" that would help California.

Water experts in the West dismissed Trump's suggestion that Canada could solve California's water problems or that water from the Columbia River in the Pacific Northwest could be diverted there, as no such canal or pipeline exists.


"That idea is completely far-fetched and detached from reality," said Miles Johnson, legal director at Columbia Riverkeeper, an Oregon-based nonprofit that seeks to protect and restore the water quality of the Columbia River.
A pipeline, he said, "would be insanely complicated to create, and I think create a huge amount of friction in the American West, where fighting over water is basically our national pastime.
"Beyond the logistics of it, which are probably prohibitive, taking that water out of the Columbia River means taking hydropower off the grid," he said. "That's the trade-off that no one is talking about."
About 85 percent of the Columbia River watershed is in the United States, so if Trump intends to send its water to California, he would probably take it from the U.S. side, said Tricia Stadnyk, Canada research chair in hydrologic modeling at the University of Calgary's Schulich School of Engineering.
But that means building some type of canal or pipeline, which would be nearly "impossible," she said.
"You're talking about going across some of the most treacherous mountains in all of North America," said Stadnyk, an engineer by training. "It would be a massive amount of infrastructure that would be required.""

Because what you're telling me to do wouldn't answer the question I asked.

You don't need to bother yourself with it. I found the answer I was looking for.  :lol:

Yes , I tried to show him.

Since the 1930's.

And then he posted some lame ass liberal non-profit as evidence.

When he said "he no longer needed help"

I praised God. :)

Neuro - These are what are called 'gates' they control water flowing out of a reservoir. May or may not have valves and pumps to control them depending on design.

And you're telling me this explains how he plans on getting water from the Pacific Northwest and Canada in to California by opening the valves?
