    It won't be a laughing matter when you don't have NorCal's water to even flush the brown down.

    Then I'll do what our ancestors did, move to where the water moved

    Wells, Colorado River NAH were O.K. Hey how come the aqueduct in my back yard is FULL with NorCal water ? In fact it's lake time tomorrow, I just have to decide which one to go to. Elsinore
    Believe 1/2 of what you see and nothing of what you hear.

    I grew up in Northern California so I was ALWAYS conscious of water use and conservation......it was as much a part of out life as wearing a seat belt when getting into a car.

    I them moved to southern CA when I got out of school and haven't had to worry about it since...............because we get all that water we need from up north and because that Mullholland guys made sure we'd have enough water down here way back in the 30's so we really don't care about those guys up north...............Now I live in AZ and I think it's about time that those selfish people in So Cal buck up and start saving water

    Yes, yes SoCal got it's water care of the Mullholland boys. At great great cost. You see, once upon a time Central Cal. was eden. A paradise that even the Spanish explorers were amazed at. Filled with Grizzly bears, cougars, trees, lakes, it was an amazing sight to be sure. Tulare lake, a once great inland lake, is long gone. As is Owens lake, all diverted to the LA aquaduct. LA has taken a huge toll on Ca. Here is a picture of the area before the Owens river was diverted....the once flourishing ecosystem, which flourished here for tens of thousands of years, is long gone and extinct. Just like the California Grizzly bear. The only way you can even tell they were ever here, is because for some reason it is still on the Ca. state flag.

    Eliminating all the brush on the hills of the freeways would be a great start as well. They planted bushes and trees along the 210 freeway which is not that old east of La Verne. Why didn't they go hardscape like AZ? No water and would honestly look better than the dry brush they have now. Must be so CalTrans can have something to do a couple times a year.....shut down lanes of the freeway and justify their existence.
