Parts of Los Angeles will probably see rain after 11 p.m. Saturday, with scattered showers anticipated on Sunday afternoon before 2, and a potential for thunderstorms in some parts of the city.
The town declared a state of emergency Tuesday at 2:00 p.m., citing an increasing level of water on its Gull River which flows directly through the town and more rainy, warmer weather forecasted for the next five to ten days.
Rain fences are designed to store rainwater, reducing pressure on drainage systems during heavy downpours and preserving water for gardens during dry spells. This innovative approach is gaining attention in neighborhoods like Veldhoven, where residents are eager to learn about the costs and benefits of such installations.
The Colorado River is an interconnected system, sustained by Rocky Mountain snowpack, rainfall and groundwater. It is fragile, and under increasing stress. Two and a half decades into this century, the river that built the modern West has 20% less water flowing through it than it did on average in the last century. As heat and drought intensify, so do the stakes: Failure to recognize the severity of changing conditions, managing the river in parts without considering needs of the whole and inadequate planning for long-term shortages put the future of all the basin at risk.
The largest share, $235 million, will be used to rehabilitate the Delta-Mendota Canal, which carries water to farmlands. An additional $200 million will help continue repairs on the Friant-Kern Canal, another key conduit for water in the valley. Sinking ground, an effect of heavy groundwater pumping, has damaged segments of the Friant-Kern Canal and reduced its capacity.
The surge of water, more than 22,400 gallons a second, plunged from the foot of Warm Springs Dam, launching a fine mist above.

So, with this storm surge and the King tide event, it was a great opportunity for us to test this out. So, we came out here and we were able to further document and see how well it performed. So, we got to see that the king tide came up very close to where the pathway is behind you, and it did what it's supposed to do,
The question of how to protect fish and the ecological health of rivers that feed California's largest estuary is generating heated debate in a series of hearings in Sacramento, as state officials try to gain support for a plan that has been years in the making. "I am passionate that this is the pathway to recover fish," said state Natural Resources Secretary Wade Crowfoot.
