Must be getting "BAD" - need rain

That's weird, the story said the picture was taken jan16th this year, it filled up 25' in 5 weeks,,,,,,,,,,,,,,that's a Eli hmmmmmmmmmm.

I'm not sure what you mean but yes it actually filled up 28 feet in less than a month. This is a screen shot off of the California Department of Water Resources website.

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?

Do you ever have anything positive to add to any of these threads?

I wasn't calling you out, I don't have a clue how big or small the lake is, so i wouldn't know how long it takes to fill back up, our lake back home (LOTO) only fluctuates 4-6 and that's only because the COE lowers it for the Northern snow and Spring rains, it just surprises me that a lake could go up and down that much so fast, that's all i was saying, I'll go back to my corner.

It in fact is a reservoir vs a lake. Man made water storage facility. When sufficient runoff is available the levels stay high and within a handfull of feet. Drought conditions that we are experiencing has sucked many reservoirs dry.
On the bright side, Grads had several cool paddleboard trips he documented here on stuff he found at the bottom of Folsom as the level dropped.
