Our idaho republican senator is busy trying to remove 4 dams on the lower snake or Columbia. I think it's to help the salmon. Seems like reservoirs aren't a terrible idea with climate change and all.

Unbelievably dry in mountain California, snowpack 50%, reservoirs less than 50%, wildfires already, look for serious food price hikes this year, spuds, onions, orchard, veggies, beer/hops, grapes/wine, coastal rivers very low and warm...maybe a salmon die-off...it's gonna get ugly.


Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

Here on the northern border we've dodged the drought so far but it's doubtful our luck will hold.

Here on the North Coast we have 65% of all the fresh water in the world flowing leisurely past our doors, and no you can't have any. smile

We got some snow earlier today. It’s already blowing dust right now. Drier than a popcorn fart.

The SW has been in a long period of drought, about 20 years. If it keeps the water wars will be really starting next year when the Colorado river compact goes into severe drought rules.

I believe I read that Hoover Dam will not have enough water backed up to generate power in Sept, 2022.

What happens to places like Vegas then? Think about millions of people in civilized society without potable water. Might make Minneapolis look like summer camp.

Not that I support taking those out, but those four are regulatory reservoirs, not storage. Used to slow down flood stage, provide for barge transportation, and electrical generation.

Removing them would not have a large impact on the water woes downstream. It would impact other things, like wheat transportation off the Palouse, and Bonneville Power rates.

It might help the salmon and steelhead runs though. Until they get to the Columbia that is. But, at least then they only have a 300 or so mile swim to the ocean, instead of a 400 mile one.
