The US Army Corps of Engineers opened two dams on Friday in Central California and let roughly 2.2 billion gallons of water flow out of reservoirs, after President Donald Trump ordered the release with the misguided intent to send water to fire-ravaged Southern California.
Trump celebrated the move in posts to Truth Social post on Friday and Sunday, declaring, “the water is flowing in California,” and adding the water was “heading to farmers throughout the State, and to Los Angeles.”
There are two major problems, water experts said: The newly released water will not flow to Los Angeles, and it is being wasted by being released during the wet winter season.
You'll want to check back in the summer when California has no water reserved.
Wonder how the farmers react to this. They, more than anyone else, should know how big of a waste this is. We LA residents already know.
It’s economic sabotage. Farmers are going to need that water this summer and it is gone.
All family farms will go under and corporate farms will buy them all out. Although they voted for this, whether they knew it or not…
Trump is both vindictive and not very bright.
