CA hasn’t built any major water retention projects since New Melonies in 1979.

Too damned many people wanting too much, but that's how it is.

That stinking New Melones, and new Exchequer Dam, which were both expansions as I recall, just drowned more of the beautiful Sierra rivers. All those places I grew up hiking, fishing, rafting and exploring. Drowned out cave systems where we used to go caving. Gave us ugly stagnant reservoirs with their annual low water bathtub rings.

But, of course, the water is needed to support our profligate ways. I understand that but I also think we just keep putting off the inevitable reckoning.

Sustainability?
