Too funny! That is my backyard....Folsom Lake. Every where you see brown should be covered in almost 100' of water. This photo only shows a small portion of the lake. The lake has gone up 25' since that picture and we have another storm rolling through this weekend.

When the water gets that low does the dam still generate legtricity or are you using candles?

We have just the opposite issue here......

[GRADS]

Yes the dam generates electricity but more importantly that is our source of drinking water. Send some of the snow our way!

Beer and candles...problem solved.


Is it too late to recover this season as I thought you folks get the bulk of your water from the mountain snow melt?

Grads uses candles either way...he's in touch with his feminine side

shit like this happens when you let the farmers grow rice in the central valley.

Probably more water in this freek'n field than there is Folsom.
Notice how they managed to take the picture when it looks like a storm coming to refill the field?? They aren't stupid. They aren't going to take a shot with the sun is blaring and its 105* so you can think WTF??



Sam Kinison said it best. Its a desert. You know what grows in a fucking desert? NOTHING!
So what do we let the farmers do? Grow the one of the highest water demand crops on the world, IN A FUCKING DESERT!!
Whats next? Sugar cane and pineapples??

Heres the kicker. 90% of the rice grown in the central valley, is exported to another country. We don't even eat the shit. So we use OUR water to feed some one else. How stupid is that?

With all due respect Bob... The most rice in the state of CA is actually grown right here in Sacramento which is centrally located but in Northern CAL. And it is far from a "Fucken Dessert" as you put it. And to use Sam Kinison (one the worlds most renowned stupid comics) as a source for your facts is far beneath even you.... And I'll add this - who care who eats the shit as long as they are BUYING it from us?, its one of CALIFORNIA's largest cash crops!!!

You live in LA LA land and you take more of our water then the people actually growing something with it to just flush your FRIGGEN toilets.... so you may want to look at your facts a bit closer and see who really uses all that water in FOLSOM Reservoiur because it aint the Folsom residents. Or the areas surrounding it. Ever heard of the CA Aquaduct system????
