No doubt about it. Water is critical. Almost zero rain in the last 4 years. If there is no water to fill the dams, what good are they?
There was tons of water, most of the reservoirs in question, were literally 2/3rds to 3/4ths full, but Newsom decided to discharge most of their water into the sea to supposedly help a minnow which is dying out any way due to the introduction of non-native sport fish. Environmentalists keep lying and falsely claiming it is because there is not enough water in the delta (there is) when the really reason the minnow's numbers have been crashing is because of all the big mouth bass, small mouth bass, catfish, and other non-native predators introduced in the last 150 years.
So Newsom, ever corrupt and willing to do anything for donors but not regular people, literally ordered the majority of Southern California's drinking water dumped into the sea and, no, it didn't even help the minnow. Now they are putting water rationing in place and it was all unnecessary. Just another reason to vote the shitbag Newscum and his fellow Dems out.
