I'll take the word of things that aren't politicized to make their enemies look bad. And a map that depicts how everything works made was made prior to Trump taking action is the most accurate IMO. Not some partisan turd that wants political points.

So anything negative about Trump, you ignore.  Gotcha.  I knew that already.   :D

Nope but I have seen how you and everyone that despises him will listen to the words of one person and form your opinion without looking at FACTS. I showed you facts and you choose to ignore them.

If you zoom in on google maps, the canal runs right under the rivers of those 2 lakes. It would be really easy to get water from those rivers to the canals, but it doesn't currently flow into the canals.

scratch that, If you zoom in even closer you can see the valve that let's water flow into the Friant Kern Canal.

Now, I really have to wonder about this Peter Gleik guy, the so called expert hydrologist for the region. Did he even look on Google Maps? Did he just assume that Trump doesn't know what he's talking about.

It is possible that he just knows more about the water system in Cali than a bunch of arm chair political (and vaccination, constitutional law, insert other things we're experts on here) experts on a machinist forum?

I'd be willing to bet they didn't do whatever needed to be done to flow the water into the canal. Pumps/valves/whatever and since Trump and his crew may not have known about whatever quirk there is in the system, they played dumb and did what they were told. That way they can claim Trump is an idiot. I can't say I haven't done the same to managers that I didn't like in the past...

It is obvious once you zoom in that they have made it so that the canal can flow into the river or the river into the canal. It's also possible that he just doesn't want Trump to be right. Just like NPR. I took a snapshot of google maps. If I could figure out how to upload it here, I would

Not just from one guy. 

I guess they could all by those pesky climate change activists.  :lol:
