From Sacramento, CA station KCRA:
They need to build some water storage dams but the enviros will not let them. It would greatly reduce the effects of drought and eliminate this flooding. How much property damage do they have to sustain before they bring this option to the table again.
Oroville Dam, the tallest in the system is having a big problem right now since it cannot release enough water to maintain the flood pool level as the Sierra snow is melting with the current warm rainy storm. A comment nails the absurdity of the situation: It's a perfect time for "FLEX SEAL" No brainer
