Frankly I can't tell. The official California site has a bunch of pictures that make no sense to me, not a lot in actual numbers. I fear that this is just another man made political issue like Global Warming(which is now Global cooling because they couldn't get the globe to co-operate). Here is what I do know, there is water, enough water for farmers to grow our food and most of the food for the country and some of the world comes from California, so this isn't a regional issue but a big issue for the entire country unless you grow all your own food. I am wondering if this is just another way for California to get more and more Federal funds for their every increasingly bad government, this isn't such a bad theory when you think about it a while. In the Central Valley the problem is there is water but they have turned off the pumps to protect a fish(that's right a fish). Why does that not surprise me, we have modified our entire life style and it isn't nearly over for a few wild animals, I am sorry I just can't be convinced that as cute as some of these cuddly creatures are that they should take precedence over human life, especially when they can be easily moved or even coexist without a problem.
I think you will find this audio from the inside interesting, the premise is there is no dramatic drought but a political issue concerning these fish that are not even indigenous. So far this fish has brought suffering to 10’s of thousands of people in the Central Valley and it will work its way into your grocery store by way of shortages, imported food and higher prices yet again. Listen to this audio clip and let me know what you think, I am not saying it is the definitive statement but it sure brings to light issues that the elite don’t want you to know about.
