The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has ramped up water flow from two key dams in Tulare County, responding to President Trump's directives during his recent visit. This initiative aims to prepare California for incoming atmospheric river storms while also ensuring sufficient water resources for potential wildfire responses. Federal data indicates significant increases in water release rates from both Terminus and Schafer Dams. The Corps stated these controlled releases are coordinated with local officials and comply with emergency measures outlined in a recent executive order by the President.
