That state is ridiculously mismanaged to the point where it has to be nefarious and not just incompetence. California dumped ridiculous amounts of fresh water into the ocean this year. They should have built water capture systems during the drought in 2021-2022. Dig some new lakes, dumbasses. You need more water reservoirs.
Weren't they draining it and draining it? If there's a drought that's the last thing you want to do, unless you want to be able to scream climate change when no one noticed you dumping the water.
