City of San Diego releases billions of gallons of water from reservoirs

- Billions of gallons of water have been released into the ocean from local reservoirs over the past year, mainly because of a state order to keep the water levels low.
California's Division of Safety of Dams currently has water level restrictions in place at five reservoirs in San Diego County, aimed at keeping the public safe.
The Division of Safety of Dams has posted inundation maps online, showing the flood zone that might occur if a dam collapses when its reservoir is full.

All our high taxes are supposed to be fixing our dams and reservoirs. But it's not. All a waste
CA gov prays for Fires and Drought. They feed on chaos , Disasters bring even higher and higer taxes When gov gets money it is evil

They sure have money to throw at illegals.
Yea sureee, they just want to price gauge our water bills.
EXACTLY
The benevolent parasites would never do that.
Now that there is so much water to throw away, how about a refund for overcharging people for water over the years?
Back when Hodges was full water went east of the freeway. That area is overgrown with trees now.
Bulldoze it deep and create a second reservoir.
Now you can repair the main dam and remove the silt.
There's a narrow spot halfway through the lake. Build another control dam there.
Now you can repair any part of the three way storage system while holding most of the water.
In the event of earthquakes the main dam is only under the pressure of one third of the water and can be lowered while retaining water.
All dams silt up and need repair. Building in pairs would be a safe solution.
Many small ponds high in the watershed can stop flash flooding and put water back underground.
So we could build dams in 1918 but forgot how to maintain
We can't maintain infrastructure because dams don't vote, but welfare recipients do. Rest assured that our Democrat Party does anything and everything they can to ensure that welfare recipients, single mothers, druggies, homeless and the gender confused make it to the polls. They would even have the illegals voting if the courts hadn't blocked it. It should be clear to anyone paying attention that the Democraps are doing their best to build a majority coalition of the most helpless, useless and dependent people they can drag into a voting booth in order to maintain perpetual political power. 😐
I totally believe that!
Nice, no scarcity? Make your own scarcity, then make the residents pay for it later.
Now we are in a drought….so let’s release billions of gallons of fresh water
Come November Greasy Newsom will tell us were in drought so conserv water
So you want the dam to collapse, is that it?
yes and really clean water
@@nedludd7622 I want the county, state, and federal government to take care of issues as they arise instead of allowing our public infrastructure to get to this point.
@d7622 No, we want money to be spent on repairs and maintenance for existing critical infrastructure instead of being wasted on "reparations", high speed trains to nowhere, "homeless outreach" programs for people who would rather sleep on the sidewalk and smoke crack than sober up and find employment, health insurance for the illegal aliens and public assistance for able bodied people who simply don't work, because they don't have to. It's called "setting your priorities", something at which the idiot liberal Democrats in this state have failed miserably. 😒
Great. We finally get some water after literal years of drought, and they just let it all go
They should of just made water bills free for the rest of the year and the residents could of used it all up
The repairs on the dams need to be completed ASAP! All that water shouldn’t have to go to waste…
Then FIX these dams! Put our money into critical infrastructure and stop spending OUR money on wasteful fantasy land projects.
hear me out for a second....if we pay to fix the dams now, we won't have to pay for someone else's water later......still laughing that most of the dams in San Diego were built 100 years ago and then never maintained.
Because it was never funded!
@@SlushboxH8R Why don't they build a new one, oh wait I'm sure there is no budget because they have to pay those losers pretty high salaries like this one who's talking this nonsense, maybe it's time to change a lot of things in California....
And then they turn around and say we’re in a drought….
Released ... Billions of gallons, on a 'maybe' ... As in, the dam 'may fail', but we don't really know ... WTF???
The responsibility for this lies squarely on the mayor and the city council who have FAILED to maintain the dam. They blame it on being 100 years old but there are other dams the same age that are in great condition. Why? Because they were properly maintained and not left to fall apart like Lake Hodges Dam.
So no drought then? 🤷♂️
I think it’s because people with homes downstream would rather not lose them
Why are they looking at this now and not during the summer or during the last 10 years of droughts when the lake was empty? What is this clown in the Capital doing?!!!
Running for president!🤣
There are only 2 possibilities: it’s extreme incompetence or extreme malevolence. And both should get them locked in prison.
Where is the tax Money of San Diego, Fix the Reservoirs
To busy giving illiterate illegals our money hand over 👊 fist
Incompetence on the highest level! We need new leaders all across California. This why everyone is leaving California!
I've been waiting for this issue to be publicized. Now that more people are aware I hope that we can finally address the issue. The city of Escondido is already working on a new dam for Lake Wohlford so why can't the city of San Diego do the same?
Well why dont just make another water resorvoir nearby that can connect to that one instead of wasting billions of gallons of water then soon will be in a drought again doesn’t make sense !!! Do something about it !!!
Can't do that. Environmentalist won't let you!!
Where?
DAMN!
And in future news: San Diego is suffering from a water shortage caused by climate change. I love this idiot news channel!
Maybe watch the freaking video?
Years and years of low water levels, perfect times for doing maintenance on these dams,but nothing. And now water wasted by state decree. Sounds like planned failure to me.
They've cried about not enough water for years, then aren't ready for it when it comes. Crazy stupid. But typical California. 😂
I sometimes don't understand why these precious water get go waste.
I was wondering why that lake hasnt filled up with all the rain.
We need water and to waste it. Why not build more reservoirs?
So... fix the dams or create additional reservoirs.
This is so infuriating. Politicians literally go out of their way to create problems so they can then promise to fix the problems if you elect them.
Is it just me or are they mentioning that they release billions of gallons of water during years? When we supposedly had a drought here in california
Send the water to Mexico , [they need the water]
Everything it's about money [ more taxes for water , water bills too expensive already in California
We don’t have dam problems. Wtf gave them the permission to do this?!
But we can send billions to Ukraine 🇺🇦
WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK????
This is so stupid. They even released water from lake cuyamaca and it's nowhere near full
Brilliant, now they can price gouge and ration this summer.
The people in our counties management of everything are inept, incompetent and their lack of a second backup storage area just proves they haven't any ability to look beyond today.
How hard would it be to use the infrastructure $$ to construct other ways to harbor that water. An aqueduct that connects to the 5 other reservoirs is what we need.
It would actually show that the $$ allocated to us was for us. Of all the $$ doled out to improve our loves, I see nothing to show for it.
Trash everywhere. Roads that are in need of repair. Sewage from TJ.
Democrats need to go. We need fresh eyes and ideas. And term limits on everything. Our country's representatives have no interest in what you want. It's all about global, no local or national interest. Time to clean house.
What a dam shame.
Send money to foreign countries&wars, let this country suffer drought or flooding. Where is the $3 Trillion Plan for Infrastructures!!!!?
What you mean ? I bet it could be done with all that tax money being used to take care of all of San Diego's foreign guests......
I agree with you,!@@dontmakemelaugh01
New reservoir! No digging, no dam to build, no maintenance. Name: Death Valley. Solar pumps for overflow, siphon, and gravity flow.
Damn!
That's a lot of water
Re-build the dams !
there is no shortage of water there is waste, AG uses 70% of the states water when business and residents use 7%...while the state doesnt regulate crops at all and residents and business who use little water are picking up the tab..So Cal water companies pay for Oroville also, water agreements and useage need to be redone to much power in big ag...
I gave every city in a water shortage a perfect solution. For industrial use, in ground tanks. Save the rain water give it a perfect ph and you are all taken care of. Homeowners could utilize above ground tanks for all watering needs. Why do you not listen?
Stop voting against infrastructure bills or stop complaining about preventable things like this
It's Chinatown, Jake.
fluoride, petrochemical, BPA-plastics, feces mixed into one concoction
This is all your fault, If you voted to keep useless newsome at the helm. We had a chance to recall him but too many people voted to keep him.
This is why funding for infrastructure is so critical
we vote to fund, they spend it elsewhere, wake up.
You don't think the highest taxes we are paying here is enough, oh I forgot we spending on all those losers and government agencies and on illegals isn't it, supporting them forever and ever.......
California the cities of sewage. Smfh
This channel creeps me out.
But don't shower
Just build more Golf courses. Problem solved.
Why don't they build a new one, oh wait I'm sure there is no budget because they have to pay those losers pretty high salaries like this one who's talking this nonsense, maybe it's time to change a lot of things in California....
What is the retail value of all this lost water, and wouldn't that money go a long way to paying for any "fixes" the dams need in order to increase safe storage capacity?
