ggt Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Has anyone thought to address the problem of what happens after the water runs out in June? What is the backup plan if there is not enough rainwater to replenish the reservoir? Another compelling reason to seek refuge elsewhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

streetsweeper Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 When I read such reports, I ask myself several questions. 1. what happens to the person who makes these statements if he/she is proven wrong? **** this suggests "accountability" Why bother listing the other questions if no-one is held accountable? *** the comment from above regarding a "back-up plan" strikes to the heart of this very matter To a large extent managers of this nation cannot be fully to blame as they are ill-equipped amateurs being asked to spin-doctor the "happiness" theme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyg Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Southern California and much of the South West USA are in a similar predicament. In fact Jerry Brown the governor got a bill passed to remove 3 reservoirs costing the taxpayers millions. Similar stuff in Oregon. Madness pure and simple.
