Reply to comment by BlankVerse in Satellites watch 'atmospheric river' bring extreme rain to California — Satellites of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) are monitoring the weather system, revealing its various aspects including wind speeds and expected amount of rain. by BlankVerse

Not true at all and not a limiting factor on water storage. There's a huge dam in the pipeline that they've been trying to get going for more than half a century at this point.

Beyond that, putting a dam in front of a valley isn't the only form of water reservoir. Sure, we don't have a lot of opportunities for mega-reservoirs left but that doesn't prevent us from building cisterns and other water storage and reclamation infrastructure across the state.

Sites isn't even on a river, so it'll require transport to and from the Site.

And your point is...?

Why are you trying to cover for the shockingly inept California government? There's literally no excuse for allowing the population to increase by MORE THAN THE TOTAL POPULATION OF PENNSYLVANIA and not adding any significant reservoir capacity.
