Kill all squirrels!

California has unlimited immigration and all the people drink the groundwater. This lowers the water table and dries the place up. What they need a a great big mother freaking dam.

I asked Rockie and Bullwinkle about this and they said, "To hell with all those Hollywood Bimbo's"

You mean something like these?

California doesn't have a lot of groundwater going in. Los Angeles County is a desert.

Southern California develops water projects in other states that take water from the Colorado River. The nearby communities use that water and let more flow down the river. It works well for them but fresh water is scarce in Southern CA.

Of course California will never run out of water because they can draw it from the ocean and purify it through reverse osmosis. It is just that desalinization is power intensive and expensive. The real shortage is of cheap fresh water. The kind you can use to grow crops in a desert.

Those are are all little earth dams, (above link):

For example the one name after the guy who wrote the Christmas music.

Anyway, I'm puzzled. They squwak about every little eco thing; yet are happy to drink water tainted with arsenic and uranium. Maybe it's just a little bit and it won't bother mothers who are breast feeding, for example.
