Drought is over (says local water authority)
Someone posted a good point with the anology to the "boy who cried wolf" story. I don't find the CA water authorities credible. Instead of trying to improve water storage facitilies and updating antiquated water distribution laws they push draconian restrictions which make sound good have little overall effect (watering driveways, no showers at the beach, etc). There is no wolf.— January 29, 2017 6:02 p.m.
Drought is over (says local water authority)
Well supposedly it rained for 40 days and 40 nights non-stop. I think some of the CA authorities would have still said there was a drought going on.— January 29, 2017 5:55 p.m.

The population has little effect on water usage because urban and residential users don't use much water. Argiculture uses 4X as much water as urban users.— January 29, 2017 5:50 p.m.
Drought is over (says local water authority)
It's not an emergency. 3 years ago you could make that argument - not now. If it were a true emergency the state would be restricting agriculture - which uses far, far more water than urban users.— January 29, 2017 5:48 p.m.
Drought is over (says local water authority)
Assuming that the biblical story of the flood was true, I think many CA leaders would have told Noah that he was in a drought until there was 41 days of rain.— January 27, 2017 7:03 a.m.
Drought is over (says local water authority)
Letting people have the ability to purchase or sell resources on the free market should be a way of life in a free society. If I want to water my driveway I should be allowed to do it as long as I pay for it. What the heck happened to freedom?— January 27, 2017 7:01 a.m.
Drought is over (says local water authority)
No it doesn't. It depends on common sense and actually looking at data in a reasonable manner and having a reasonable definition of drought. A reasonable definition of drought would mean that after a couple of years of above average precipitation the drought is over. The drought is over. Anyone who says otherwise has some kind of agenda.— January 27, 2017 6:58 a.m.
Qualcomm accused of illegal scheme
My version of the saying is, unfortunately, usually true, in my opinion.— January 27, 2017 6:55 a.m.
Drought is over (says local water authority)
Good grief. The drought is OVER.— January 26, 2017 6:56 p.m.
Qualcomm accused of illegal scheme
Interesting. That's kind of shocking to me actually. Is Apple officially considered an international customer (due to some kind of tax strategy?)— January 26, 2017 11:44 a.m.
