From @SoCalWaterComm: We are prepared for this drought, but what about the next one? A very good question in search of a good answer. Let's start w/ All solutions must be considered together. #CAwater

More #drought hardships coming - food prices will spike as @usbr cuts Central Valley allocations: 25% for M&I Contractors, 0% for south of Delta CVP ag users. Wealthy enviros need not fear; this will just hurt poorer folks. #cawater https://t.co/J8NcSMlvms
CALIFORNIA DROUGHT 🌱 Some Central Valley farmers are destroying crops or avoiding planting new ones this spring ahead of a dry summer with no assurance of water.
Thanks to @DelBosqueFarms & @JoeDelBosque for offering perspective.

Here's a Legislative Analyst Office report on the last drought's impacts & costs, & whether we learned anything from it. Short answer: Yes, but we're still not all that ready for this #drought. Thanks @CalMatters! #cawater https://t.co/5BXMeEE62h
Just in case you’re still thinking there’s no drought to worry about in SoCal (and that the earth is flat), @GavinNewsom has declared #drought in the Delta. Thanks, @MavensNotebook. https://t.co/tqw1qmPNTs
Explore the ‘lifeline of the Southwest’ on our Lower #ColoradoRiver Tour May 20. Register today to hear from experts as they put into context the 20-plus year #drought on what is the most contested & meticulously managed river in the U.S. #cawater https://t.co/wM7l4mLbw4
This drought will be different, says @DanCALmatters. Groundwater management plans will hit farmers, Trump's pro-water policies are history, water rights battles loom ... and @GavinNewsom is frozen by the recall. https://t.co/FnkhtJMajr
Gov. Newsome finally declares a drought emergency ... for two NorCal counties only. The feds have declared a drought in 50 counties. Hmmm. #CAwater

@mwdh2o statement on Colorado R. supplies: "Continued hot & dry conditions mean a shortage declaration can no longer be avoided." MWD supplies not hit in a tier 1 shortage, but if Lake Mead continues to drop, MWD will take a hit. #CAwater

Here's infrared images from NASA of the Sierra snowpack from 2000 to 2021. This year is not what we'd like but mainly it shows how variable & risky the main source of #CAWater is! Thanks @BCWaterNews

LA and Ventura Counties are now in a severe drought says the U.S. Drought Monitor. Yet some irresponsible groups continue to fight new #CAwater supply projects, putting warped policy ahead of people, esp. the underserved.

Open your eyes @thisreallyis & other Cadiz trolls: There are 100s of headlines about the drought. Feds declared a CA drought emergency. Raising awareness of drought is good. Shame on you for pretending these conditions, which hurt underserved communities the most, do not exist.
Just a reminder: It's April, the storm season is behind us and it's now a second year of drought. Climate change activists say we'll have lots more of them - why do they also fight new, sustainable water supplies? https://t.co/VrI3Fk8VmQ
Nothing to do with COVID, but thanks anyway. COVID relief bill includes big bucks for repair of key #CentralValley aqueducts. #cawater https://t.co/fnuhow5A2z
Super-kudos to my hometown #cawater district, @SMWDwater, for today’s opening of OC’s largest #recycled water reservoir - 1.6 BILLION gallons! https://t.co/ImabhqE0aN
Joe Matthews calls for a Ca Water Party to break Dem/Reep logjam on @cawater. But the Dems run the state so there is no real Dem/Reep logjam. Would it be a “more water” or “more water regs” party? https://t.co/ePxsAgUTvI
