"I don't think "penultimate" would be descriptive." Voters approved the most recent plan in '14. The conservative farmers voted down the penultimate water plan in '82. books.google.com

"it doesn't seem to me that that particular dam might have been the solution to California's problems" It would have been the largest reservoir in the state. Every person in the state could have had about 0.2 acre feet.. 65,000 gallons. Dos Rios Dam would have flooded 110,000 acres (45,000 ha) of Mendocino County, creating a reservoir of 7.5 million acre feet (9.3 km3) – the largest in California, at nearly twice the size of Shasta Lake. [36 Water would have been diverted from English Ridge north to Dos Rios and through a 40-mile (64 km) tunnel to the offstream Glenn-Colusa reservoir in the Sacramento Valley, from which the water would travel by canal to the Sacramento River. An alternate proposal would have sent the water south from Dos Rios, through English Ridge and then a tunnel to Clear Lake, from which the water would flow down Cache Creek to the Sacramento River en.wikipedia.org
