Oroville Dam: Photos taken weeks before spillway broke show something wrong
Kalifornia is really the poster child for bad government. Their crazy govenor is committed to building a multi billion dollar boondoggle train, yet their dams collapse, and their bridges, due to poor design and maintenance. Yet they keep re-electing the same crowd to Sacramento. Lemmings at heart..
Peter Gleick, president and co-founder of the water policy-focused Pacific Institute, began modeling the potential effects of climate change on California’s water supply 30 years ago, with the results suggesting this kind of event would happen.Edited. "It’s shocking in a historical context because we’ve never seen this bad of a snowpack. It was not shocking in the sense that we sort of knew this was coming, and we just didn’t know when,” Gleick said. “This is the new unpleasant reality” for Western water, not just California.
Today the snowpack is at greater than 160%+ of normal.
In one month the cost to repair has climbed from $200 million to $300 million. I wouldn't be surprised if they double that.
How many of their own laws and permits and regulations do they need to break and ignore to make the emergency repairs. There are hundreds of heavy diesel trucks ,earth movers , caterpillars, right in the Feather river itself digging andhelicopters dropping bags of rocks all only miles from the fish hatchery.
In California The brain washed enlightened ones and, the desire for superficial hipness and Social acceptance means not much will change but further erosion of Liberty. Much like water cutting through rock.
Activities. Fascinating, from Adapt2030 interviewing John Casey policy advisor to the Whitehouse.

Like snowmageddon's, polar vortex's, coupled with the lack of memory of what has happened in the past.
Look at the snow depth in the Sierra Nevada compared with the Donner Party winter. There are spots up there in excess of 27 feet of snow this winter. What was once received with joy as a source of water and and a world famous snowpack for skiing.
Now, it is decried as a crisis seeking federal emergency relief funds.
He's a nut-case. Build more dams, store more water, no need to submerge rivers.
Same plan could "fix: the dead sea in Israel (and generate power there) and help agriculture in Australian by changing the part time Lake Eyre into the Eyre Sea. Just solving problems.
So, the answer to your question is probably "the Dumbocrapic Party Card certification".
Marketplace "boondoggle", only the Richmond
fiasco was not nearly as deadly.--(But then, this
is Virginia). Government should be chopped down
to its proper function; don't expect great results when governments insist on meddling with matters they don't understand.
