"Congress Created the Dust Bowl" or "No Water, No Food, No Jobs"?

Some California lakes history..

Mono Lake: Almost died for LA water, but was resuscitated..

Owens Lake: Died for LA water and is now a dry lake hazmat zone..

Salton Sea: Accidental lake that should not exist but is now a political and environmental problem..

Tulare Lake: Covers a massive area when really wet years (like the previous two) fill it, but dry lake otherwise..

The dust bowl is the result of farmers vs bait fish, which are a proxy for maintaining the Bay Area delta and wetlands, resulting in sending a lot of fresh water out to sea, or letting it dry up by diverting the water to irrigate farm land. Again, a political and environmental choice..

LA water and Central Valley water are not interconnected. The LA basin does need more reservoir storage, but policies dealing with future fire issues are a lot more complicated (and expensive) than that. Just more political and environmental choices to be made..

Elections have consequences ...

Federal, state and local..
