The lack of irrigated water led to the loss of $100 million in economic activity.

The cheapest source of water... was good old-fashioned surface storage, dams and reservoirs.

We could spend about $1.4 billion to raise Shasta Dam by 18 feet or spend $1 billion for another Carlsbad desalination plant.

We expect this to be, and continue to be, on this President and those that follow a bipartisan issue.

Let there be no doubt, many Presidents of both parties have wanted to look on the world stage as though they cared more about the rest of the world than they cared about American ingenuity being properly awarded, as the Constitution…

California voters approved a purported water bond in 2014 with the promise it would be used for water storage.

So, excessive Federal landownership is not protecting our forests. It is destroying them.

It is just human nature that the most jealous guardians of a community are the members of the community, not some far off government in Washington.

Should the Federal Government not take care of the land it already holds before acquiring still more lands?

So, put simply, surface water storage gives us nearly four times as much water for the dollar as desalination.

But because we don't have the capacity to store excess water from wet years, we approach catastrophic shortages during the dry ones.
