I wonder why the Sites Reservoir is taking so long to build... It seems to me that it could be completed in one week... But they say it will take years! (near Red Bluff, California)

LET'S KEEP RAINWATER IN CALIFORNIA... Don't Let it Flow into the Ocean - Simply Pump the Sacramento River Onto Crop Land! Grow Food! 
Sites Reservoir: Water for Dry Years... 
Sites Reservoir is an environmentally beneficial, off-river reservoir that will capture excess water from major storms and save it for drier periods, helping California’s farms, businesses and cities continue to supply reliable water when other sources are low.

a Post of Mine Was Deleted from This Blog
because I Dared to Ask the FORBIDDEN QUESTION:
"Why do we allow fresh water from the 
Sacramento River to flow into the Ocean?"

after all... 
We Pump the Colorado River Dry before it Gets to the Ocean in Mexico... and No One Complains About THAT!

all the water from the Colorado River is used to Drink, Water Crops, Fill Swimming Pools, Shower, Water Animals and Make Ice Cubes for a Scotch on the Rocks Beverage... 

SO... Someone Reported My Question to Google
and That Post was Deleted... 
WE MUST ALLOW NO QUESTIONS!
OBEY THE ECOLOGY NUTS!
NO THINKING!

I say leave Nature ALONE but cut down on human reproduction to reach for a better, more equitable, balance. Humans have already altered, disrupted and destroyed far too much on the planet!  So much in fact, we’re causing thousands of species of animals, plants and insects to go extinct by the day! Enough is enough!  This Central Valley used to be home to deer, antelope, bear, and thousands of other species of both animals and plants.  Now they are crowed out by humans for growing endless mono-crops for human a cattle feed and housing.  Its selfish, greedy and insane. And not just here, the whole Earth is  being similarly destroy for human USE and its  the only home we have in the Universe!  All  because of not having the foresight to control our own  f’g numbers!

Of course, power hungry world and church leaders with politicians leading the way, like more and  more people to fill their coffers!!
back to the story now in progress: California Rice Farmers Pump Water from The Thermalito Afterbay Downstream from the Oroville Dam to Water Their Crops. This Year the Oroville Dam is at Historic Record Low Water Levels. So Low that the Hydro Electric Power Generating Station was TURNED OFF...

Thermalito Afterbay Downstream from Oroville CA


What IF? Would Pumping all that water out of the River and Into Fields that are Growing Crops Change the Climate of California's Central Valley? In the Summer, all that water would evaporate and then fall as rain when those clouds meet the Sierra Nevada Mountains... In General, the Wind Flows from West to East... WE NEED RAIN...

The Objection to Pumping the Sacramento River Dry is That Salmon Need the Water to Survive... and They Would Go Extinct... In That One River... Other Rivers, Like The Klamath and The Columbia and Rivers in Canada and Alaska would NOT Be Changed... and The Salmon Would Continue to Survive There...

and... What IF Salmon Became Extinct? The Drought is The Western USA Is Putting Salmon in the Klamath River in Danger Right Now... Even With The Dams being Removed...
It's Entirely Possible That Salmon are Not Important...

The San Francisco Bay would Become Salt Water flowing In under the Golden Gate Bridge... Currently it has a Mixture of Salt Water and Fresh Water...

That's Surprising because there are Salt Harvesting Businesses Near San Jose... They Just Let the Bay water Evaporate and Collect the Remaining Salt...

Here is a Post on that same subject that was NOT Deleted on Facebook... "I Wonder Why Fresh Water from The Sacramento River Flows into the Ocean? After All, The Colorado River is Pumped Dry.
We are Having a Drought Here in California... This Water COULD be used to Grow Crops, Water Livestock, Take Showers or Make Ice Cubes for a Scotch on the Rocks... But NO... It Flows Out into The Ocean at San Francisco... "
