We should really be investing in groundwater storage. There is ~80x the capacity underground as there is above ground
The background looks like the windows Xp desktop background 😅
Well the Windows XP desktop wallpaper was actually taken in nearby Sonoma County!
How much are the property owners getting for giving up there land? I'd like to hear their opinions and thoughts about it.
For all the history, this is highly seasonal, thin soil pasture that the ranchers probably go broke on many years having to buy hay to keep any stock going. The coverage specified, there isn't a river. Unless there is urban sprawl nearby, eminent domain payoff might not look too bad to these hardscrabble folks.
Yeah let's let them be heard and talk about their feelings so we can delay this thing another 10 years
Google “Imminent Domain”. The Government pays VERY well for land they deem necessary for Public projects. This is a good project!
@@aptpupildont give these overly-sensitive morons any ideas plz haha. We see what “feelings” did for SF and LA. Too bad the “feelings” of drug-addicts and criminals matters more than hard-working law-abiding citizens.
@westsidewarrior:
They'll likely get a TON of money. They'll be paid an "appraised" value and make their families wealthy for generations....
We need to build more reservoirs. The population is growing. Water keeps getting wasted when they open the dams to combat flooding from excess rain 🌧️.
Duh
Actually new studies are coming out that storing water might be better And hold more capacity then most dams without losing nature sites. Ground water storage might be the future then dams.
I think there are some groundwater-retrieval projects, but still experimental? For the first time in decades, the Sacramento at Red Bluff is flowing through the bypass, and all out to sea.(Dam full!) What an opportunity! Wise friends once told me there was a massive oak forest in the Central Valley watershed that held back the floods and allowed it to filter below. But also, before dams, ships filled their barrels with fresh water in San Francisco Bay to the Golden Gate! Just history.... @@nicksalgado22
Uhhh, California has lost a million people in the last 3 years...we are not growing anymore.
@@mrsleep0000are you shitting me? TENS OF MILLIONS of migrants have been coming through our borders for 3 years! Just because we lost millions of Ca taxpayers doesn’t mean we’re all not still having to support and pay for all the illegals with free healthcare and housing.
What on earth is going on with the editing with this from 3:44 mins in... really poor?
I thought the same thing.
It will be like the San Luis reservoir near Los Banos. That construction started back in 1962. JFK came and did the groundbreaking.
And it's basically a dam waiting to collapse. It's a 3 sided reservoir with a large earthen dam that is just a ticking time bomb.
that is not "just north of the delta." Are you kidding me? It's as far away as Santa Cruz is.
So your point is? We ship in water from the Colorado, for heaven's sakes!
@@Ddax-td7qy my point is that their location analogy is awful
The proposed reservoir is only 100 miles north of the delta. Santa Cruz is way farther than that.
You realize the entire Bay Area and Sacramento, Stockton, all that are part of the Sacramento River Delta right? It's massive. So "just north" is really "just north" as it is still south of Shasta reservoir which is ultimately the head of the Sac River. River Deltas are MASSIVE. Amazon, Nile, Mississippi deltas... cmon man.
You must not get out much. I often drive farther than that to get to work in the morning
3:46 Interesting video glitch the second he started talking about money
Pumping?
Yes from Sacramento River. Smh
Wait what? Damn dams.
I don't trust an engineer with a manbun.
Jealous!
Tw at knot
At least he doesn’t have a beer gut like the rest of them
You are likely a descendant of the same people that chased down and destroyed the first hot air balloon because it scared them.
It’s California 🤣
“Long planned” means all the land has been bought, and the best is all called for.
That’s why it hasn’t happened faster, it takes time to put all the pieces in place to make the most money.
Im going out on a limb here, but I would bet the farm that this will get shot down at the last minute. If the state continues to have rainy seasons like the last 2 years, drought will be the least of our worries.
That poor reporter is fed up with the weather, beginning with the wind making it hard for him to do his job 😂😅🥹
Poor guy looks cold out there. They could have used a green screen...
Maybe find a project manager without a man bun and we will have our lake in 6 months
Boots instead of birkenstocks?
And is seems a shame lose such a beautiful area, but I presume it will hold wildlife and fish etc?
You assume incorrectly. It will destroy a huge natural area, and the water will be used to grow almonds that are then shipped to China.
It's great they are making enough storage water for everybody's swimming pools and golf courses. God forbid that they realize that this is a dry area and conservation is needed more.
This is being built to grow almonds that will be shipped to China.
wow, CA will build it and the next 30years it will stop raining
*Im afraid we are decades late for these new reservoirs the good stuff is going to waste now*
Should be completed in '25. 2125 of course, it's California
And since it’s California….it will take 25 years to build when it should take under 5
Or we can just restore lake tulare. once the lsrgest lake west of the mississippi
Id rather not destroy beautiful pristine land to be destroyed by hundreds of feet of water miles long. Housing, schools, airport, so much could be built there and with more stringent water restrictions as well as mandating retention ponds and collective devices in neighborhoods could help save water while still serving people who need it. I see this as a TERRIBLE idea.
It will probably be 35-45 years before they finish it. Look at the dumb monorail. How many billions and it’s only got a few miles built in 10 years
The guy smiles when he says these homes will be 300 ft below water.
shut up

Wilson, it is OK to have your hat and gloves on when you are on camera! You are outside, wear appropriate closing!
Hello critics! You all sound like Charlie Brown's Teacher...
Use the money from the Homeless situation that got pocketed 😑
Hairline exposed
What about the endangered four eyed grease beetle that only mates there every August third. You are killing the grease beetle and causing global warming and racism.
Hey! I heard it has six eyes! :) Seriously, it sounds like that s----ff has been looked at. In fact, that terrain is so anodyne for poor pickins seasonal dry pasture, go broke feeding' a few through scrapin' along, any grease beetle would hop over to the next gully, no problem.
Look at the loss of arable farm land???
Great wild pig hunt there too. Oh yeah
Bla Bla Bla can we get started already?
Dam it! There are no dam droughts! Climate does changes, if not, we’ll all die! Duuuh!
Meanwhile they tear out all our dams on the Klamath River
this damn wont effect salmon
Don't do it
Horrible project: let’s put a dam in shallow, hot basin. Makes no sense.
They will never get it done, Ca is a joke
Pump Tulare lake dry and then steel pump water to a basin so we can pump it past Tulare lake. Wake up people Jerry brown is going to love his tax payer funded lake that keeps his aquifer full.
Waste of money so one man can finish his Dad's dream.
Sounds like a waste of money.
Not good. People should research what this project really does.
Giant hot tub for 5 billion . Trump approved Shasta Dam raising for 1 billion in 2016 .
And how much border wall did he build? Don't be a sucker.

Notice that God's rainbow has seven colors, not 6. Six is evil.
The enemy on earth has hijacked the rainbow. A lot of us know it's true symbolism.
An engineer with a man bun???!!!?? Can't be serious.
