Donald Trump's late decision to release water from Tulare County reservoirs as a response to Southern California fires has been criticized as illogical and counterproductive. The water released would not effectively reach Los Angeles, and areas receiving it are currently facing flooding risks rather than drought. Local farmers expressed concerns that this decision undermines regional water management, risking future drought conditions. While the decision seems poorly timed, it is framed as a response to ongoing agricultural distress amidst local anti-government sentiments regarding water usage in California's Central Valley.
A decision to take summer water from local farmers and dump it out of these reservoirs shows a complete lack of understanding of how the system works and sets a very dangerous precedent.
Driving through the middle of the state, the signs are impossible to miss. If you only got your news from roadside signs, you might be convinced of a grand Democrat-led conspiracy to take perfectly good water.
