What do Trump know about the Water of California? It’s much less than he admits

Sacramando- A few years ago, after she was elected as the Speaker of the State Council, I asked Karen Bass about her view of water supply, especially the water supply from the Sacraimado-Sang Huajin River Delta from the encounter. Essence Her ignorance is honest.

“I am a city child strictly,” she answered with a smile. “From Los Angeles, we use [the water]Essence But we have no concept. We took it out of the bottle or water faucet. “

Until last month, that was, when the firefighters opened the faucet on the fire hydrant of Pacific Palisades in the Pacific, there was no water to incinerate the house.

The water pressure is not enough to compete with the catastrophe of the Hurricane Fan. But fingers are naturally pointed at the mayor Bes. Why doesn’t she plan this disaster? It seems that someone can.

Since we published lunch in lunch in 2008, the bass has accelerated the water in California.

This is the mirror opposite another city child-the mirror of Manhattan’s root.

President Trump does not know the complex water supply system of California at all, and will never admit it. Calling him to bring doubt the benefits to the guys. This was he deeply intervened in the water of Galiferia. He was misleading and fantasized, not completely lying.

But briefly returned to the bass: I asked her if she knew how to make the Delta a more reliable water source in central and southern California.

She said: “I know this is a huge problem-I mean ‘Chinatown’.”

“That’s how I know. Then I come here [to Sacramento] And find out that I live on the flood plain. I was stunned. “

She participated in the field inspection of the San Huajin River Valley farm belt to learn about the serious water problems of Galifer. For her, water has become a “high priority”.

Trump does not need farms. He needs to check the map and learn about the geography of Galifer. Where is the water flow in California and how to flow into the Los Angeles Basin for simple research.

Most of the water in Los Angeles comes from three sources: Owens Valley passes through its own aquedules; according to the multi -state agreement supervised by the federal government, the Colorado River; and the National Water Project. The Colorado River and Prefecture Water are purchased from the Metropolitan Water Area in Southern California.

Federal Central Valley project provides water for the Central Valley (mainly agriculture) long in 444 miles. It did not send water to Southern California, which was the fact that Trump did not realize or simply ignore it. It was pumped into the southern country water on the Tehachapi mountain. Although he hinted this, Trump could not control it.

State and federal waters flow from dams and rivers to Delta. Every year, about 5 million acres of feet are passed south to the canal, entering the St. Huajin Valley, the Central Coast and Southern California.

President has always said that California has obtained water from northwestern Pacific. No, it is Oregon and Washington. Their water is left-although some people think of the idea of ​​importing water from the Columbia River from the Columbia River every few years. It cannot happen in politics or economy.

Trump even recently talked about Canada’s water siphon in Canada as California. Except for him, he seemed to think that the system already existed, and the water in Canada flowed naturally here. It’s hard to really know his thoughts.

Maybe he suggested to drag the iceberg from Greenland.

But it is clear that he believes that there are some “valves” of the Delta that can send “a lot of water” to Los Angeles to fight wildfire-if only Governor Gavin Newsom will twist it.

fantasy.

Last week, Trump bragged on his social media platform. The military entered California. “Under emergency, a lot of water flows from the water flowing from the northwest of the Pacific Ocean.” No such thing happened. The federal pump has been briefly closed for maintenance and reappeared.

Trump claims that most of the agricultural interests of parrots are because it flows to the sea, so it wastes the water of the Delta. sure. It is necessary to exclude salt water and drink the safe drinking and irrigation of the Delta water. It also washed from San Francisco Bay pollution. It takes the sand to the beach and baby salmon to the ocean to grow into a iconic delicious creature.

Trump issued two administrative orders, which will make more speeds in the Federal Wentangers Act Act, to draw more Delta water and reduce salmon, hard -headed catfish and ancient The protection of ST fish.

The coastal salmon industry in California is already in the dock. Because there are not enough fish, the fishing season has been canceled. Some captains tried to float their ships by observing the scattering of whale and human remains.

Under the guise of providing more water for South California (the unlikely task of the federal government), Trump is actually trying to increase the pumping of irrigation to the St. Huajin River Valley.

This may eventually cut water in Southern California, because according to its own endangered species bill, the state can imagine that it will reduce its pumping to protect the landing of fish.

If the Fed takes out more water from the Delta, “the burden on water quality standards will fall on the state water project. Water expert Greg Greg and Sarah Bardeen is California The State Institute of Non -Party Public Policy wrote.

Trump should ask bass to conduct some counseling on Water in California to avoid accidental consequences of delusional policies. And invited her to enter the White House Theater so that they could watch “Chinatown” together.
