"I'm wondering what sort of short-term measures people in the Central Valley can take to deal with the floods " Quickie levees? This is controlled flooding of fields, as opposed to nature's uncontrolled version. I don't know if it replenishes aquifers. The @CAgovernor's Mar. 10 Exec Order makes it easier to capture water from storms to recharge #groundwater supplies while helping to reduce flood risk. @dcameron177, a groundwater recharge pioneer, describes how these projects work, & why they're important during intense storms. pic.twitter.com/WiyWNjFgT3 — CA - DWR (@CA_DWR) March 28, 2023 == "at the same time store the water." Longer term, I think they are about to finally begin the Sites Reservoir, which is off-stream, like San Luis, which is just about full. Stunning satellite images show California reservoir drained by drought is nearly 100% full (msn.com) There are also lots of small projects at the county level to store water, especially down south. From CA’s LARGEST-ever tidal habitat project at Lookout Slough, which reduces #flood risk for Central Valley communities, to the EcoRestore initiative, DWR is part of a vast restoration effort in the Delta. — CA - DWR (@CA_DWR) April 5, 2023 When there's this much, I'm not sure anything can be done for flood protection, except maybe on-stream dams. I think now is a lot like the ARC flood, but frozen. The Airborne Snow Observatory (ASO) has completed its second survey in the San Joaquin Watershed above Millerton Lake and the data is in! Hi-tech LiDAR measurements of snow water equivalent show nearly a million more acre-feet of water over 2017’s big snowpack!
