Raising the Dam at Lake Shasta 200 feet instead of the previously proposed 20 will
add 10 million acre feet of Water.
The Klamath Reservoir will add 15 million acre feet of water.
The Eel Reservoir will add 7.5 million acre feet of water.
That is 32.5 million acre feet of water between the three.
Lake Mead and Lake Powell are the two largest reservoirs in the United States.
They each hold up to 25 million acre feet of water, but they are presently at 40%
capacity, each with 10 million acre feet of water, only 20 million acre feet of
water total between the two.
There is a drought ever decade or so in California. Entire farms could die out.
The Federal Government needs to put in these reservoirs, like Hoover Dam. Farms
are industry. Industry needs 100% facilitation to work. Farmers should not have
to worry about water, it should be like sunlight. The Federal government water
project is for farmers. The State water project is for drinking water. The State
dam is newer and nearly failed recently. 100,000 were evacuated. There will be
excess capacity from the Federal project diverted to State water use.
The above capacity numbers are capacity only. Someone should research how fast
these reservoirs would fill up relative to each other and see if the water
capacity numbers are really the most pertinent or not.
Here is pertinent intelligence accumulated so far:

The California Central Valley produces one-third of all produce grown in the
United States.
Possible solutions that apparently aren't:
1. Oregon - the Columbia River separates the states of Washington and Oregon and
starts in British Columbia and empties tons of fresh water into the Ocean. All
the rivers in Oregon flow South to North. So unless you were going to float the
water down the coast in big tubes it's not liable to matter.
2. The Peripheral Canal was rejected by the voters. I think they thought it was
going to cause pollution.
3. Turning Salt Water into Fresh Water. Some Municipalities such as Carlsbad are
resorting to this, as is Australia. Is this really a cost effective solution?
Cost effectiveness may be all it comes to.

In article <qu8g2r$70v$1...@dont-email.me>,
latest California law requires water districts to do things like
groundwater recharge where the basin's geography allows. This
exploits existing underground capacity and avoids pumping water
over mountains.

Welcome to the Kern Groundwater Authority
In response to California’s recent drought conditions and
increased reliance upon groundwater, in November 2014, the state
legislature passed the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act
(“SGMA”) collectively contained in Senate Bill’s (SB) 1168 and SB
1319, and Assembly Bill (AB) 1739. The SGMA mandates that
groundwater basins designated by Department of Water Resources as
high or medium priority develop groundwater sustainability plans
(“GSP”) to become sustainable. The Kern Sub-unit of the Tulare
Lake Basin, overlying the valley portion of Kern County, is
designated as high priority. The development of the GSP is to
occur through one or more local public agencies that has water
supply, water management or land use responsibilities within a
groundwater basin.
Prior to enactment of the SGMA, the Kern Groundwater Authority
(“Groundwater Authority”) was established to provide a framework
for the active, comprehensive management of the groundwater basin
underlying the valley portion of Kern County, to preserve and
maintain local control (“self-determination”) of groundwater
resources and provide long term surety for all basin users.

Santa Clara County’s groundwater basins are an important but
unseen part of our water supply. In fact, these basins hold more
water than all 10 of our surface reservoirs combined, and nearly
half of all water used comes from groundwater. Groundwater basins
are naturally replenished by rainfall and other sources, but
pumping far exceeds natural recharge. For many decades, the
district has managed groundwater and surface water to ensure
continued sustainable water supplies.
As the groundwater management agency for the Santa Clara County,
the district works to safeguard groundwater by:
Replenishing groundwater with local and imported surface
water.
Reducing demands on groundwater through treated surface water
deliveries, water conservation, and water recycling.
Monitoring groundwater and implementing programs to protect
against contamination.

Aquifers have a larger capacity and are cheaper to manage. The

Good luck "raising" the Shasta Dam 200 feet. I've been there, and you're
