A near disaster like this is special and needs to be dealt with. That is a priority.
But in other parts of California, what I hear is that this excess rain is flowing on by and out to the ocean. There are many man made resivors and water diversions and so forth that feed agriculture later in the year when the dry season hits.
It is my understanding the powers that be in California are refusing to allow this excess rainfall to be used to refill those resivors, and just letting the water pass on by.
That seems foolish, from a distance. A lot of those ag regions paid for the water systems, that have sat idle during the several year drought and hurt farming terribly with no water allocations.
Perhaps a person far away that lives in a wet area of the upper Midwest misunderstands; but it would seem that now flowing water should be used to resupply places that need it, and drought restrictions on that should be lifted at this time? I understand it takes years to replace what was lost in the water table so the drought isn't over from a couple months of rain..... But water flowing on by is just lost anyhow, might as well grab some when it is there in excess?
